I have Comcast and don't get the Outdoor Channel on cable.  I would have to upgrade to the highest tier in order to get it and simply can't afford to do that.  I would drop Comcast allogether if it wasn't for the fact that it is the only practical option I have for high speed internet.  If I drop the cable TV and only go with the internet, my internet charges go up dramatically to nearly the price of TV and internet combined.  The Comcast Crooks keep moving popular channels to the highest tier and either don't replace them or give you the Golf channel which they own.  Comcast's commercials say how much better than satelite their reception is which is crap.  Poor quality often.  Every time I get poor reception I call and demand a credit on my bill which I get, but have to probably spend more time on the phone to them than what it is worth.

I watched nothing but broadcast TV for decades. I can get about 20 channels with my 40-foot tower. I swore I would never pay to watch TV because I was getting all of the networks free. When I got my computer four(?) years ago I had free AOL dial-up for 3 months. As soon as that expired I switched to Comcast, and having cable TV too gives me a $15 a month discount on my internet. If I didn't love truly high-speed, I would still be watching TV over the air like I did for 9/10s of my life. My mom has 28 k dial-up and my cable is 8,000 k, 286 times faster. I love it. DSL doesn't even come close to it. I could only get 768 k DSL when I tried last year. Comcast is 10.4 times faster than that. So now I have cable TV too.

I'm using Metrocast, Internet is about $50/ month, with cable TV it's $150 (basic) so I never bothered adding TV.
