Beyond basic cable, what premium channels are you paying for....and are there any you may drop? I have just about all of them, except the abstract networks like Sundance. However, I'm thinking about dropping Showtime. There's nothing on it I watch.

Oh, you don't like Shameless? I love that show. That's all I watch on Showtime...Sometimes I watch some of the "late night" shows on there for a few minutes just out of curiosity, but I think that I will probably drop it when the promotion runs out too, then try to get it back for Weeds when that comes back on. Oh I also like Dexter...

I like HBO for Big Love and True Blood so I may drop that when the promotion runs out since both of them are off right now.

We also have Starz (is that how it's spelled?) and that has better stuff for kids but it's probably the one I watch least. It has a cute Dragon show for kids that has the theme song written and played by The Cure!

Never saw it.

we have everything except the hbo/cinemax package. my roommates pay for the direct tv, every now an then they'll bring it back.

You should watch it! You could watch the whole season on demand right now I bet...The season finale was last night. Alan Smithee likes it too.

We have them all but mostly don't watch anything past HBO/Showtime. Cant remember the last time i watched TMC or Cinemax. Starz sometimes.

HBO & Showtime/TMC. Almost tempted to drop them. I'm losing patience with the absurd length of time between seasons for their "original programming".

Tpp I watch Shameless too LOL, I have not seen the last two episodes yet, have to catch up, good show!!

I have them all, Starz, Showtime, HBO, Cinemax, The Movie Channel, Encore, Sundance, IFC, Playboy and a hundred or more other channels and most of the time there is never anything on that I want to watch! I keep them because now and then some series pops on that I want to see.

Paying for ? LOL...just kidding and I've got the bill to prove it. We have just about everything except "adult" channels such as Playboy. Sunday evening my daughter asks me if Shameless was set to record (I didn't think she watched it). I told her it was and asked why. She said she and her friends watched most of it a day or two before and I guess she got hooked too.

I just have HBO and Showtime.

Zero. I don't watch t.v. like that as it is.

We have different line-ups in Canada and some of the channels available in the US aren't available in Canada. I have basic cable plus the first couple of tiers (Discovery, A&E, and stuff like that).

When I had Dish satellite, I had just about every pay channel available. Now I have digital cable, and only have the more mainstream networks. HBO/Cinemax, Showtime/TMC, Starz and Playboy.

I thought Playboy was like a PPV ordering type channel. I ordered a program from it once but didnt know it ran like a regular HBO type channel.
