Time-Warner Cable goes digital

Time Warner Cable has announced they are going all digital

What this means is that everyone must have a digital box to pick up cable - even if you get the "starter" package of just a few stations.

The digital box will be supplied at no charge for the two years.
UNLESS YOU ARE ON MEDICAID
Then you get it at no charge for 5 years.

WHAT- If you are needy you will get this luxury for FIVE years - but if you are a hard working American, you will have to pay for years 3-5.

What about those on Medicare ( for the elderly?) That I would not have as much of a problem.

I will be sending a letter to to Time Warner.

 

There are currently 2 packages you do not need a device for.
One is a 12 station package - the other has about 80 channels.

We have the next level - partly to get the Christian stations. Also I like the variety of News channel ( I do watch them all, Fox, MSNBC, CNN, BBC ect) Mrs. Salty likes ones such as TNT, AMC, ect.

But the point is why do those on Medicaid get 3 additional free years - for a luxury.

As you said, with an antenna - we can get about 7 local stations - and with the sub-channels - it ends up being about a total of 20.

 

I can see where a phone is a necessity - but not cable.
When I lost my job -the first thing to go was cable.
