Hiya snugs. I just signed up for a basic cable three-month deal -- the price goes up after that so I'm not sure if I'll keep it. I'll be able to watch Fox and Pax and the History channel, CSPAN, A&E, AMC, CNN, MSNBC, plus the usual broadcast channels such as ABC, NBC, CBS < gag >, those types. Not HBO, etc., but that's plenty okay with me. Broadcast reception where I live is pretty lousy.

At least you will have it for the inauguration

You'll be hooked after three months and will not want to give up cable. Although I almost never watch anything but Fox News, it's nice to have C-Span for special events and occasionally some of those other channels. I don't have any of the pay channels either because I never have time to watch them. I do have music channels and they're kinda nice, especially at Christmas time. You just click on it and music plays all day and night too if you're like me and stay up almost all night.
