The lady had mentioned that after Jan 31 all the boxes are going up in price. Beyond that there wasn't really anything fantastic.

Anyone reading this will laugh...
So I just have basic cable its 32.00 +tx... yippy
The lady said that you can add digital TV for 1.99 ? serious?
Then upgrade that to HD TV for 9.00... for a total of 10.99

So normally a 67.99 package will cost me 32+10.99 (42.99)

Anyone else seen this before ?
not exactly..

basic (2-28 + random higher channels) = $32.95

if you buy a digital terminal ($98 self install or $118 if you get a technician to install it), it'll be $32.95 + $1.99 (26 digital channels)
if you rent the digital terminal itself, then it will be $32.95 + $2.95

to be able to watch hd tv, you'll need to purchase a hd terminal which can vary between $298-$498 since it's on sale before february 1st, 2009
so it'll equal out to $32.95 (basic) + $1.99 (digital + 11 hd basic channels) + $9 (another 13 hd channels = hd plus)

that hd digital package that you mention is classic cable (2-58 + random higher channels) + hd basic/plus + digital channels
