So spring the extra $10.00 to get digital cable ... you'd be surprised at how "few" people spring for the digital packages ... in the Bay Area, over half of AT&T's customers had digital cable.
It's worth it for OLN alone, but I also like the addition of BBC America, and many other niche channels which are not available in the normal cable line-ups.
Except when I watch broadcast TV or A&E, I'm rarely in the "basic cable" section of AT&T's offerings anymore ...
