So does directv but i have to get the ultimate package to get, well worth it i think.

Actually, you can get TOC ala carte, you will probably have to argue with them, the lead person I talked to said it was impossible, I had to becomes something of an a$$hole and make him regret getting up that morning, he finally relented and passed me on to someone else, after maybe 10 minutes of arguing.

At that point, I got TOC added ala carte. I think it is $2.99 extra per month.

On a separate note, the shows that left TOC (Intermedia's PDTV, G&A, etc.) found a home. From Friday's Shooting wire at

My local CC (Time Warner) decided to re-align channels so that they are grouped by subject...really screwed things up.  I think they call it progress.  One day I find that OC is now excluded from the package I am paying for and that I will have to pay extra for OC and a few other extra channels.  As much as I hated to I called twice and said I was not paying extra - I was paying too much already and cancelled OC.  Several days later someone from the CC called to ask me a few questions.  I told her exactly what I thought, which was " Charge me extra and site inflation or whatever but do not use re-alignment for the convience of customers as a reason and then charge more (without telling me until the bill comes)for what I am already getting."  Then I apologized for taking out my frustration on her.  Well, they still haven't turned off OC and they are not charging me for it so I will be able to get SG and BD until they discover their error.  On top of all this she tells me that the package I am paying for is no longer available but if I was a new customer I could get a better package for $10+ LESS but only if I was a new customer - Boy does that suck! but I could get a slightly better package for just a bit more than I am paying now.  I kept my temper and thanked her and repeated my refusal to pay any more than I am paying.  My wife does not want to change providers so I'm stuck.  Sure hope nobody finds out that I'm getting OC without paying for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish me luck,
