I don’t have cable TV, but I do have streaming through my ISP, the local cable company. Other than taxes and fees it doesn’t cost me anything more that what I was paying for internet only. I was getting a handful of channels, nothing spectacular, but enough to kill plenty of time.
Last night I fired up the app on the Roku and saw many more channels than I thought I was supposed to receive. Lo and behold, I received programming on, well, just about everything. OK, that’s nice. I don’t recall any announcements saying that I was supposed to get extra channels, and I didn’t find anything online about this. I checked my bill and it’s the same amount. Science channel, Velocity, DIY and several others I wanted are all there and working. And I’m getting the FS1 feed from Le Mans.
Is this something that they’ve added? Is it payback, temporarily, for my internet outage last week? Is this an error? I’m just going to sit back and enjoy it while it lasts...

Our cable company opens up premium channels on some weekends to entice their customers to buy them. This might be a father’s day promo. Enjoy it while it lasts!

I would just enjoy it and don’t tell them about it.

Yeah, I think that’s what this was. Later on that evening I couldn’t get most of those channels again, and when I restarted the app they were no longer listed. Well, it was good while it lasted. I do want some of those channels, but I don’t want to go through the whole introductory rate, cancellation, extended promo, repeat ad infinitum game. Just give me a fair price and leave it alone, or just give me more stuff for my loyalty.
It’s obvious that I can get a ton of channels on my streaming service, so why not just charge me a fair rate to get some of them? No more games, please; I’ve had enough of that...
