More than likely... I remember back when my cable company (Time Warner) first started carrying Speedvision (now Speed), it came with Basic Cable. A year later, they changed everything up and put Speedvision on the third tier along with The Golf Channel, The Bowling Channel, The Let's Watch Paint Dry Channel... Grrrrrr... Then they sold the whole nine yards to Comcast and guess what! The @holes changed it all up again! I had to buy darned near $100 worth of cable to get Speed!!!! I ditched them and got Direct TV Dish.. Of course they too had to put it on a tier with all the college football channels... Grrrr....
'Pretty much like ordering a new car these days, isn't it. In order to get the 3 or 4 things you actually want, you have to order 3 or 4 "option packages"...each one of which contains only one of the 3-4 things you actually want - along with a bunch of crap you don't want and will never use. Bottom line? The car ends up costing you darn near twice what it should.
The 'big boys' should take a page from the 'handbooks' of RCR, SPF and the like in that department. But, of cour$e, they won't...
