Sucks too. Every single content provider thinks their stuff is worth a $10 a month subscription price by itself, which is crap. It used to be the Netflix and Hulu Plus covered most of the bases, but I think I may have to go back to cable. Or stop watching TV cause F 'em.
Had to happen sooner or later. Netflix and Hulu, etc. just hooked everyone in with an (albeit extended) "introductory offer", just like cable providers advertise "TV and Internet for only $xx/month for 2 years!"... and at the end of the 2 years the price suddenly jumps to $xx times 3. I'm about due to call Comcast (again) and renegotiate. I'm paying almost $220 a month for phone, internet, and what I consider to be "basic" cable. They call it Tier 2 cable or some nonsense, but I don't have any premium channels like HBO or Showtime. It's just that the channels we like (History, Discovery, A&E, HGTV, etc.) aren't available without going to Tier 2.
