My bill is now $84 per month.I have AT120, Superstations, locals, HBO and Max..3 receivers...I am going to discuss going to AT60 with the wife and knowing her, she will agree..She thinks $1.380 is too much..LOL!!!minnow said:I've been toying with the idea for a couple of months now and after really finally seriously looking at the stations we watch on our current AT120 and what we would give up be going down to AT60, I found that we were paying 10 bucks extra each month for three offerings that we would miss a little. So after talking it over with the wife who was really all for the downgrade, I called this morning and pulled the plug on AT120. And while I was at it I had a third receiver deactivated and the $1.99 extended warranty taken off as well. Dropped the bill by $18.00 a month.
I figure if anything goes bad with one of the two remaining activated receivers I can just reactivate the one we had disconnected. And if something really blows up, I'll just call TW and sign up for the three in one service and end up saving even more money that what were forking out right now.
It's just getting to be too much money each month for internet/tv and telephone.
I wonder how many others are downgrading as well ? I wonder if E* is listening ?

gbjbany said:i assume you meant dropping to gold. yes both the 921 and 622 incur the 6 dollar DVR charge if you drop from platinum to gold. So an additional 12 dollars there. For HD platiunum this fee is waived
Typo, should be $86. Didn't use the shfit key so I got a 4 instead of a $.Mike0616 said:You really must be enjoying it, if that is not a typo.:devil:
I see what the original poster is saying, that there is no need to over-subscribe to shows you don't watch. Personally, have had HBO, SHO, etc. and dropped them when PPV started working years ago. Also, change from 120 to 180 for ESPNU during football and basketball seasons, but drop them during the off-season (nope, lacrosse, tiddly-winks, et. al. are not my thing and there is not another channel on that package that I would care if they went dark.) My wife likes a few of the channels in 120 or would have the 60 or do only OTA myself. ESPN and news channels are on 60, so would do me fine.
It all comes down to preferences. like anything else. Its like cars, homes, etc. - a matter of what you want throttled back to what you can afford.
