I'd like a rebate on the A&E, History/Travel/Biography Channel scam. There seem to be five or so stations in the network and they share the programming on all five. A&E probably does half of the original programming of a DIY or a Comedy Central but they use what they do produce to program five stations. It's outrageous. And to call the History Channel the History Channel is pure hubris.
I know exactly what you mean. They do the same thing with the Premium movie channels if you get them. They just move the same few movies around from one movie channel to the other. You can go without watching them for six months and come back and the same movies are running. I remember years ago when I only had one HBO channel and there was always new movies every month. You could actually look forward to the next month of movies. Now I would not give you a buck a month for five channels. And HBO used to have a full color book every month telling you about all the movies for that month. Things have sure changed. It is always about charging you more for less. That is the scam.
