Re: Are you really getting more for your dollar?

said by Anon123 :

The NFL network wants everyone to have their channel so that everyone can pay the additional fees for it (because they want to make money!)
Get off that crap. Hell ESPN charges $5 for ESPN and ESPN 2. Comcast forces other cable companies to have Golf Chanel on a basic tier AND pay for it if those companies want to carry their other channels like E! and G4.

I think the cable co's point was that compared to 1998 you are getting many more channels and services that weren't available then such as VOD and HD.
There isn't any VOD in my area. HD is extra. So is VOD if I had it. Charter has actually REDUCED channels while raising prices. How am I getting more for my $?
