I don't buy the "can't fit the channels" argument. With digital cable
cable cos can fit hundreds of channels without any effort. It really comes
down to the money. Cablevision is trying to gauge Comcast and RCN by
charging a lot of money to get the three Metro channels which would likely
not be watched by anyone unless there was a game on. I think they should
stop showing horrid channels like the Golf Channel or Speedvision or the
Garden Channel. I have a question for all you Center Ice folk. Let's say
we are playing Atlanta and the game is on Metro. Can you watch the Atlanta
feed?
