I am on CVI in south Wake county and I found Sci-Fi channel on
channel 38 also.  MY gripes about CVI are the rates ($20.40 for
extended basic service) and mainly, the fact that if you are one
day late paying your bill, they charge $5.00 late fee. This
happened last month and I almost cancel my subscription then. They
also have the audacity to charge something like $4.50 per month for
additional hookups in YOUR house, which I doubt few people actually
pay ;-). 

I am considering alternate methods of TV reception but we cannot have a
satellite dish or antenna visable from the road in our neighborhood.
Are there antennas that would fit in an attic and yet get decent
reception of the available local stations. 
The network channels and FOX are the ones I consider the
minimum stations I would have to receive.
