Dis anyone see the press conference today. Kind of ridiculous i think and nothing all that special. I already pay 60 bucks for about 20 channels. Digital would send everyone broke. Any ideas on the cost of it and when it will start because they didn't convince me at all. What do you guys think.
I'm interested in the new deals...
