Will our rates go down? Probably not. Our Cox Cable rates have remained the same since we got cable, which was over two years ago.

Time to buy stock in DirectTV.

I'd love it if my cable company would break down my bill by cost-per-channel. It would make a lot of sense, and go a long way toward deflecting criticism of the cable company for rate increases. Of course, that is only if they aren't gouging us to begin with...then disclosure would be quite uncomfortable, wouldn't it?

I'm very close to going with satellite, primarily because my viewing habits are focused on news and sports, and I can get a whole lot more of that with a dish. If cable keeps going up, I'm gone...

"It would be terrible" to be without the sports networks, Eric Dahrling, manager of Yogi's Sports Bar in San Diego...

What an idiotic statement. Sports bars would benefit substantially from this dispute if Cox Cable takes ESPN and FOX Sports off the air as a result of a contract dispute.

[Rightly Biased]

ESPN Wants $2.50 a Subscriber from us just to carry them at my Company here in Texas. So I say hold yer ground Cox.

THERE ALL A BUNCH OF STINKING WEASALS!!!

Thats my well though out analysis :)

[Uncle Hal]

I have never understood why the cable companies included the sports channels in their basic service. I would say 50% of the people could not care less about sports. I am a sports fan so I would take all the sports I can get and I would pay extra for it. But if I did not care for sports I would hate to pay for channels I never watch.

We have both Cox and DirecTV.

Cox is our internet provider (cable modem, 3000 kps, great for downloading those pop-up ads). The rate is $10 a month less with TV cable service included.

We get DTV for the NFL Sunday Ticket package, can't get the Packers games in Arizona without it.
