DYK we have XM/Sirius so no need for music channels...dating myself but I remember when MTV played music videos not all those "reality" shows. Girls just go on You Tube to watch videos...local cable goes up at least $2-$3/yr w/no added channels so isn't a good value to me.


DYK when we had it previously I called so often I had the phone# up on the frig...service spotty & customer svc was bad.

DYK found this amusing...since there are a few of you that are Catholic I thought I'd post it...its from the NY Times:


OMG! Italy Catholics Asked Not to Text During Lent


By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Published: March 4, 2009


Filed at 12:20 p.m. ET


ROME (AP) -- Roman Catholic bishops in Italy are urging the faithful to go on a high-tech fast for Lent, switching off modern appliances from cars to iPods and abstaining from surfing the Web or text messaging until Easter.


The suggestion goes far beyond no-meat Fridays, giving a modern twist to traditional forms of abstinence in the five-week period Christians set aside for fasting and prayer ahead of Easter.


And it shows the Church's increasing focus on technology's uses -- with many of the Lenten appeals posted on various dioceses' Web sites.


Dioceses and Catholic groups in Modena, southern Bari and other cities have called for a ban on text messaging every Friday in Lent, which began last week with Ash Wednesday.


''It's a small way to remember the importance of concrete and not virtual relationships,'' the Modena diocese said in a statement. ''It's an instrument to remind us that our actions and lifestyles have consequences in distant countries.''


The diocese said the ''no SMS day'' seeks to draw attention to years of conflict in Congo fueled in part by the struggle for control of coltan mines. The mineral is an essential material in cell phones.


The Turin diocese is suggesting the faithful not watch television during Lent. In the northeastern city of Trento, the church has created a ''new lifestyles'' calendar with proposals for each week of Lent.

DYK does Pico like baths? What about the kitty? And how does one bathe a lizard (frogs always in water so I figure it doesn't need a bath, even in Jackie's opinion ;-)

We had XM radio for a while.


Mainly so dh could listen to sports on it.


We got rid of it a while back, since we didn't use it that often.


I am always calling our cable company, we have problems at least twice a month.
