[QUOTE="DDD, post: 595859, member: 35"] The enticing special is $ 24,95 a month with the new state of the art tivo..for four televisions. We do pay scads more for "cable" BUT locally what I'm hearing is that (1) the consumer is responsible for notifying them when the "specials" are over that the consumer no longer wants the additional services. That may be a big problem because husband and I are both aging rapidly. (2) They mail alot of modification notices and the consumer is, again, responsible for bowing out of the options. SO it appears that if you sign a contract for #24.95 a month with a zillion channels etc. that the responsibility rests on YOU to avoid circumstances that would/could boost your monthly fee "way up". Even though we are paying a whole heck of alot more for cable...we don't have to worry about unexpected changes. I'm still mulling it over. At the moment it seems that "poor people" and "old people" may be vulnerable. Lordy...we are almost both, very sad to say! DDD PS: I get alot of compliments on the Board for being supportive but ALAS you guys provide info and support for me that I don't get from my six children. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
