    The way their movie packs work is weird...It is cheaper to get all 3 in the bundle, that just HBO/Showtime. (You get some type of bill credit for having all 3.)

    I don't have any boys, so I am not too worried about that channel.

    It also comes with the Starz movie pack. Lost of Rookie of the Year and Sandlot. My kids love those.

              Wrong.

              She opted to NOT renew her contract...and instead moved to Paris and starred in a racy foreign film...where she unwisely showed off her bare ass. She lost most her fan base instantly...

                  Did you know that even though you bought it, that you don't own it? If I cancel my acct. I have to send that one back also.
                  What, that is crazy talk. They sound more and more evil all the time.

                    I've done this several times with DTV with great success: Call up customer service and tell them you are looking to save some money and wonder if there are any credits they can apply to your account. It has worked everytime I have called them... Right now we have a credit of $15/month for 6 months, but we've gotten as high as $30 for 6 months. Sometimes they will throw in some of the pay channels for free.

                          I'm with Comcast
                          2 HD Dvr's
                          Extra Pack - Don't have HBO
                          25 MB Internet (way worth it)
                          Phone Service - Free Long Distance
                          $189

                          Was paying $200 with Direct TV / Quest package, but couldn't get comcast sports net which plays all 82 Blazer games. Thus the switch.

                                We're right around $100, and that's after dropping the HBO/Showtime/Cinemax package (If you've seen one Taxicab Confessions or Passion Cove, you've seen them all). We have four HD DVRs (stupid; why have four copies of So You Think You Can Dance?) and Sportspack.
