OT: Comcast lied to me.....
I asked an operator at Comcast if I could just add a $9.95 sports pack to get CBS Sports Network.

They said the only way to get CBS Sports Network is if I upgraded to $120 dollar TV package. I knew they were wrong since I could add the $9.95 package by clicking yes on my menu page.

My internet is $70 dollars and my cable bill is now $12. This is what I'm getting for my money:

-Major Networks
-4 PBS Stations
-USA,TruTV, A&E, MyTV, Ion
-TVland, Disney, Cartoon Net
-Lifetime, AMC, Hallmark, Movies!
-E!, BET, CNN, Fox News
-History, Discovery, Food Network, Animal Planet
-HBO, HBO2, HBO signature, HBO family, HBO comedy, HBO zone
-Showtime, Showtime2, Showcase, ShoBeyond, Showtime Extreme
-Starz, Starz Edge, Starz in Black, Starz Kids, Starz Cinema, Starz Comedy
-Bein Sports, Horse Race TV, Outdoor Channel, Sportsman, Tennis Channel
-NFL Network, MLB Network, NHL Network, NBA Network
-ESPNU, CBS Sports, ESPN Classic, ESPN News, ESPN3
-Fox College Sports (Atlantic, Central, Pacific)

$12 dollars and everything basically but ESPN/2, FS1/2, B1G and SEC network.

As a MAC/G5 fan my package covers 90% of the G5 games without having to watch the P5 crapola networks. Plenty of coverage during the basketball season too.

Those internet TV packages don't give you the option on the movie channels or sports, IMO. Streaming is as reliable as your internet connection.

So what IS your money?

Sounds like to me you are saying $70 + $12 + $10?
How are you managing all those premium movie channels?

RE: OT: Comcast lied to me.....
This is how I am getting the $$$

70.00 (Internet/Basic TV package)-Internet by itself alone is $70 dollars
Free Streampix
Free HBO
1.00 per month Showtime
1.00 per month Starz
9.95 sports pack (ESPNU, CBS Sports, NFL/NBA/MLB Networks)

$82 dollars not including taxes.

T-Mobile is offering unlimited 4G service for $70 dollars. To get this, internet TV and the movie channels individually its a lot more money.

70.00 T-Mobile unlimited
40.00 Sling TV (ESPN, ESPN2, FS1/FS2, NFL Network)
15.00 HBO
11.00 Showtime
9.00 Starz
8.00 Netflix Streaming

Total is $153 for all of this through streaming service.

Now if I wanted to bump up to ESPN (no B1G/SEC) through Comcast it would cost me $99 for a double play + $12....$112 dollars. You pay $30 dollars more to pay for a cable package with ESPN. That is still a lot less than trying to stream.

B1G network is available starting with a $169 dollar package with Comcast but that includes all the premium movie channels. 260 channels compared with about 55 channels through Sling (albeit comcast has some lower quality channels in that 260).

Buy a digital antenna for 10 or 15 bucks and hook it up, works great for me.
