True enough, but Warner refuses to pick up the Sci-Fi channel, and
you bill would be a good bit over $30 if you added HBO and Cinemax.
The price seems fair enough for someone who wants these services.

What I want to know is why they would need to do a credit check for
a service like this.  Hidden charges?  Beats me.
