Mrs. CD & I only get HBO while the Sopranos is on the air.
As soon as it goes off we cancel.

The DirecTV operator is always trying to get us to get Showtime or Cinemax instead! LOL

You need to check out "6 Feet Under." Wow, that's one heck of an HBO series!

WE also order only for the season, then cancel. Our cable rep said many fans do the same thing... about a wk or 2 before the next season begins the cable company's phones are ringin' off the headset!

You don't get Showtime? But... but... but... Your missing out on "Queer As Folk."

Sounds familiar. I discovered an interesting fact: I had DirecTV turn on HBO just for the recent Dennis Miller special and then turned off the next day. They charged me $.80. Cheaper than Pay Per View! And last week when I arranged to have my bill charged automatically to my credit card each month, they offered me Showtime for a month. I said, No thanks, that I didn't like Showtime's programming. So they gave me $10 off my next bill instead.
