And the put the SCI FI channel over on the B cable to the dirty rotten
scoundrels!  If the other family members would let me, I would drop Time
Warner Cable in a Minneapolis Momment. I want Bravo back! I want SciFi
back! I don't want a darned cable box either.

Maybe Time-Warner-CNN-AOL-whatever-else isn't making enough money off of
you at $40+ per month to get things like Bravo, A&E and SciFi. So they
can't send you cable guides.
