Only thing I can suggest is to get the digital cable and get a bundle you like. You get a choice of quite a few channels that you pick. I pay $90 in my bundle that includes internet, all the normal channels up to channel 50 or 60, then I chose all the channels we watch the most, WFN, Speed, Military, etc., and the five movie channels, M1, Mpix, HBO, etc and you get a nifty little magazine telling you which new movies come out each month. You can also order Pay Per View, and at $4.99 a movie, its alot better than going to the store and then having to return the movie to the store when you're all comfy on your couch.
I'm not saying I'm happy with what I pay, but there are choices you can make that won't make it go over $90 that's for sure, you just have to be aware of the choices you have. I didn't know until I tried to get a channel one time and they told me what I had on my bundle, which was crap, so we revamped it to the stuff we liked and got rid of the rest.
