First I got screwed by the oil companies, then it was the gas company now it's the cable company!!!!!!  Turned on the TV the other day to find OC was a pay channel.  I called and told them I was already paying for it and it was turned back on.  Surprise, I got the cable bill today and I'm being charged for OC now.  I called and was told that the channels were being re-alligned (meaning switched around so that they can charge extra for something I used to pay for as part of a package).  Problem is I wasn't told it was extra and I'm not paying ALC so I reluctently cancelled and as politely as I could said goodbye and hung up - no sence taking it out on the CS girl.  Going to cancel some other useless stuff on cable too.

I'm cranky - my Outdoor Channel cut out.

First that VERSUS crud channel takes over (bull riding in place of cowboy shooting - SPIT!) now DirecTV dropped OC again!

I posted earlier in this thread about my displeasure with Comcast but I just had to add this crank about them  Imagine my surprise and displeasure today when I opened my bill and my internet service had gone up 135% to $58.63.  I was actually pretty reserved when I spoke to the CS representative, probably because I realized she has nothing to do with pricing and was actually helpful and intelligent.  "Apparently" a computer glich bumped me up to a higher speed level.  The $58.63 was actually for a month and a half billed retroactively from when I "requested" the higher service. So the increase was only around 75% per month.  Funny how I never noticed the faster speed for the last month.  I actually thought it was rather slow recently.  I still have to pay this bill, but I'm supposed to be credited on the next one.  In addition theyre moving more channels to the upper tier again, but if I get one of the upper tiers I can get the horse racing channel.  Rant Off.

I had no trouble adding the Outdoor Channel on directv. Of course they tried to sell me the whole package but I got the outdoor channel for 2 bucks a month. A bargain,I believe, considering all the great shows. Now if they would only broadcast in HD.
