Hi Bob, Kliphton, and list, Yes Bob, I will be able to cancel my subscription. I made sure of this. Or I mean, trial. I asked the man on the phone yesterday, that if for some reason I couldn't cancel online, could I call and cancel. He told me yes there would be no problem with that, and that I could even email them. So I feel pretty good about this.
The sad thing is, both people I have dealt with from that company, have been very nice, and polite. They try to be helpful. But they are ignorant in a lot of ways. I don't said that to be rude, just speaking the truth. For instance, when I called last night to see where I could find a listing of channels, I got a very nice man on the phone. He wanted to be helpful. I told him that I was blind, and he didn't seemed as shocked as the first guy who had helped me set up my account. However, when I told him that I wanted to hopefully find a listing of channels. He told me this was possible. I asked him where to go and he said, after you see a few pictures, keep going down a bit, and you will see a link for channels, and packages. Something like that anyway. I decided to not repeat that I was blind, and that I wouldn't see the pictures. I played around with the site, and I did find where I could view the channel listings. It of course doesn't give you a number. But you can find out what is available, and what package it is in. I found this all works better with Firefox, rather than Internet Explorer for some reason. And Kliphton, Fox is channel 1 on mine as well. I think channel 4, or 5 is Fox Midwest, as I ended up watching a little bit of a hockey game. That was cool! I asked my roommate when he got home last night, if he would go through the channels with me, and he said yes. So I am excited about this.
