I’m paying $55/month for expanded basic analog cable tv with 1 movie channel (and that’s a bundled discount price b/c I also get cable internet access).
RCN has recently moved OLN to their “Digital Cable” lineup so for me to watch the Tour this year, I’ll have to pony up another $12/month for the digitial lineup (+ $15 installation fee). So that’s $67/month for expanded basic cable + 1 movie channel.
I really wanna watch the tour but it’s killing me to pay $67/month for basic cable + 1 movie channel.
Unfortunately, I live in a high rise so I can’t change cable operators.
Ridiculous!! I have RCN too - they just switched OLN to digital last month. Here in Manhattan, that analog + internet bundle is 85. I’m debating the upgrade just for the Tour, then switch back. Sucks. I don’t watch enough tv to justify 85, let alone what the upgrade is going to cost.
Really, you only need it for one month, so just think of it as paying $12 to watch le tour. I do it every summer. Addmittedly, the prices here in central illinois aren’t anywhere near what they are for you. I used to get the digital box from the Giro through the Vuelta, but since they cancelled both on OLN, I’m just getting it for July this year.
