I'll go you one better. We had the dreaded POST-NEWSWEEK CABLE. Ack!

I kept trying to get them to add Fox. They would tell me they needed to hear from more customers. I even called into local talk radio and asked people to request Fox.

Still, they said they didn't think there was a market for it.

About twice a year they would trumpet "New channels coming!" I would think, "Finally!"

Then they would add another shopping network, another religious channel, and a local weather radar or something.

The day I called them and told them to come take it out was a very satisfying day. I reminded them that I had warned them for two years.

This is in what was Dan Burton's district, so telling me there was no market for it was nothing but a lie.

Oh, and we have Direct TV and love it, and I have found their consumer people helpful (like when my granddaughter grabbed the remote and pushed a bunch of buttons de-programming the whole thing. Ha!)

You have me beat there. At least TW added Fox before I cancelled them. But the final straw was when they disconnected me for no reason and took forever to get me back on.

They admitted the mistake, had no explanation at all for it, and still took three days to get it back. I made the call to DirecTV on day two.
