Couch Potatoes Anonymous

Thursday is the end of an era for Chris and I. We've lived in Calgary for four years without cable television. We get four channels, and feel that we watch enough programs to get by. Every now and then we'd say that we'd subscribe if we could pay $20 and get the twenty channels that we want. Paying extra for unwanted channels is an abhorant idea to us. Then yesterday, a salesperson from Shaw Cable called and offered us pretty much all the channels for $20/month and free installation, so we caved. Chris is excited about catching Edmonton Oilers games on TSN - hopefully there's an NHL season this fall ...

I'm just looking forward to catching Six Feet Under without having to wait for more episodes to come out on DVD :)

Hi Laura,

Is that basic cable with no internet, no A&E etc? I can't find the deal on their site...maybe it's only a phone offer hmmm.

Later,
Erin

Yes, they did a similar thing to me a couple of months ago. $20 gets full cable for 6 months, yes?

If you're looking for 6 feet under, I've got about 6 stored on my hard drive.

Welcome to the dark side!

Erin, it was indeed just some guy (doubtless a summer student) doing cold calls. I hope that you get one, now :)

Chris, I'm afraid that watching tv on my computer is even a bigger step for me than subscribing to cable - sometimes I'm just a peasant at heart :) Good show, though, huh?
