- Hello fellow birdwatchers!!
-
- Some time ago, someone asked how much would it cost to see "everything".
- I would say that the same question is being asked by those who have modified
- VCs and are about to go dark.
-
- At the time, many responses came thru the network, but few dollar and cents
- figures. Last night, I just could not resist anymore, and I grabbed a few
- OLD magazines (Sept/Oct 92), looked for prices, and found out the answer:
-
-
- .>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> $ 1181 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
-
- My answer was $1181/year. This may vary for others depending on the way
- you calculate your answer (providers/packages,etc) I made a few assumptions:
-
- 1) TVN1-10 were not included, since I could not come up with a $$ for them.
- 2) Spice/Playboy junk were not included.
- 3) PPV channels (which are 2 or 3) were not included (same reason as #1).
- 4) Packages were selected so that prices would be as low as possible.
- 5) The assumption was made, that if you paid for 1 channel (eg.,Disney)
- you would get to watch all feeds.
- 6) All prices were for yearly rates.
-
- Please!! No flames!!! I just provided this info as a Public Service Announce-
- ment.
-
- $ 1181.00/year
- 98.41/month
- 3.24/day
- .05/minute
