Intro

Ok folks, the first thing I want to say is I LOVE TV! I'm not one of those nut cases that drives around with a bumper sticker that says "Kill your TV". I grew up watching quite a bit of television but since there were issues getting cable tv to our area, we had to deal with an antenna and most shows we watched were broadcast from Boston, about 50 miles away, which meant snowy reception. That was ok though, we dealt with it and it wasnt a big deal.
However, over the years we have sort of gotten used to the ever increasing cable bill. Now that the services are bundled together, the cost still seems to get higher and it wasnt until about a month ago that I really noticed how much it cost. I paid a bill right on it's due date in November and when I got the bill in December, it showed both November and December on one bill. Since it was cable, phone, and internet, can you guess how much the bill was? $340 American dollars!!! What?!? That's right, a car payment every other month to pay for 1000's of channels I never watch and a phone I hardly use. So here begins my quest to cut the maximum amount out of our Time Warner bill.
