Note the absence of the Sci-Fi Channel and HGTV on
the analog lineup. They put them on their so-called "digital-cable" so you have
to pay for a set-top box. Of course, TCI claims "they don't have room." HUMBUG:
There are four empty channels, two "send money to..." channels, two
shopping channels, five news channels and two country channels. Some of these channels
could be moved or dropped in favor of Sci-Fi or HGTV.
The demographics of the Silicon Valley would lead me to believe there is much more
interest in Sci-Fi than "The Dukes of Hazard". Their system isn't even capable
of carrying the HDTV broadcasts that will be coming soon either.

TCI has financial interest in the Discovery
channel, that's why it's down here in the low number channels. |
