Okay, so it's over. Cable is gone. Well, not entirely.
Cumcast gives you a $10 discount on your internet service if you have both cable internet and any cable TV package. The cost of basic cable? About ten bucks. Since it ends up being the same price every month anyway, I kept the basic but gave up digital.
I get pretty much all of the local channels, and a handful of others. I don't know what I'll do without CNN and Fox News now. There's some news channel that barely comes in through the static, but I can't even tell which one it is. Either way, I don't want to have to watch shit through the static like I did freshman year with Days. That cured me of soaps, and hopefully this will cure me of (watching) shitty punditry and shitty media coverage. Maybe I'll start mixing in some C-Span.
But hey, you know what comes in perfectly? MTV2! That's right, no matter who you are and what you're paying for, you can get MTV2 in your home. It's actually part of the basic channel lineup. At least one of our three channels is still around to give us something to do on weekends. They had better play that fucking Ludacris video.

I probably shouldn't be saying this given your recent purchase, but it's pretty easy to find the Mulder and Scully with the FBI jackets on ebay. Expensive, but easy.
