Not really a handyman question, but I'll share my experiences with digital cable. Depending on the area, it's usually less than $50/month. Then, you can add on/ remove services just by calling the cable company and they do not have to come do installation. That's the trick, at least with my cable people, to getting lots of channels for not much money. Every few months they offer a different deal, that's only advertised through mail brochures to people who don't get cable, but subscribers can get the same deal if they call in. I found this out when my wife asked me about getting HBO so she could get Sex in the City, and I found out that the deal then would let me get 4 HBOs and would actually reduce my bill by $10. Just remember to call back in three months to switch to the new deal. Some are better than others, and this strategy doesn't work with a wife hooked on HBO!
