I have digital cable for the extra PPV and more HBO channels. The other main thing I use all the time is the digital music channels and here if you want music it's the same price to add basic digital as it is for just music channels. The original box didn't have S Video jacks so after reading some stuff on this board I called up to complain. They said no problem, we can give you a new box with S video jacks. It's like a secret that you have to know about, you can get one if you complain.(This is COX.) Anyway, I have high speed cable also and save $10 on the whole thing, I figure that's about what I would pay with a dish. They have the pricing figured out around here. Also, I bought (own) the cable modem and it went out, they just gave me another new one, no cost to me.
