They actually offer some cable channels, and you only have to pay an one-time fee for the service. The only problem I am running into is I want to be able to use a remote control to change channels. I wonder if the MS Media Center is compatible with internet cable feeds? *** Reply from pilotmike: I've not done any research on Internet based cable offerings, but you might check over at the avsforum.com and see if anyone knows anything about this.

Comcast keeps giving me the $40/month option for digital including HBO and it makes it hard to do the switch. They have let me have that ever since I switched back from AT&T Uverse. *** Reply from pilotmike: It was hard to actually pull the plug, but once I did, I enjoyed having that money in my pocket every month. It won't be long and services like <a href="http://www.hulu.com" rel="nofollow">hulu.com</a> and the like will really be changing how the cable/satellite companies do business!

I love how you are able to weigh the pros/cons of everything and figure stuff out. The same old Mike I remember. :) KVD Mike,
