>IF they would just market an "Education" package, (Your favorite news , weather, Sci-Fi, TLC, Discovery, CSPAN, CSPAN2) that would be all I'd need. $30 for 'basic' pkg of paid ads and 1970's reruns is too much. As it is, they tried to convinence me to pay $7/month just for the previledge of being able to buy pay-per-views, nothing else.

My parents were early adpoters of satellite TV back in the 70s. My mom to this day says, "Hundreds of channels and still nothing to watch". I was a teenager when they got it. It was exciting when the first channel we found was Playboy.
