rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author janduza -

What a disappointment. I subscribed to digital cable, and although the actual service is good, the customer service is awful. First of all, they have this policy where you cannot have you service installed without paying for the first month...

Tue, 25 Apr 2000 22:36:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hevinly - Why does the cable company force us to pay for 50 channels when we only watch 6 of them? I am not a huge TV watcher, but I do like good programing. We also live in an area with little reception. For these reasons I am grateful for cable TV. I do find...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author temaat - My hats off to Home and Garden Television. I think they have some of the best programs for home owners on TV. It used to be just Bob Vila with the only home improvement show. Well it just goes to show you what a little competition can do.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lorij - In my opinion, cable television is a frivolous expense for the consumer. From personal experience I have found that watching television without cable is just as much fun as with cable and you do not have a monthly bill.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dmilgolf1 - Having a trial on television makes about as much sense as trying to eat soup with a fork. The Judge is there for two reasons & that is to be exposed as a TV star & the second is that there is no way they would ever become a Judge in real life...
