$10 for basic but ~$50 for extended basic (or whatever they call it.).

hmmm... I wonder if I could just reduce my payment to $10/mo for basic
and still get the extended shows. Ok, this is just theoretical, I'm
not here to rip them off. But, I would think that since I don't have
an STB, they are not going to go to the trouble of singling out my one
physical cable and encrypting the other channels so I get exactly the
basic service..
