Summary: 

I'e only had cable about three months, so I'm not yet disenchanted with the
premium channels.  I pay roughly comparable rates.  $39.60 gets me two
coded channels and two cable boxes (one for the TV, one for the VCR); only
one box has the coded channels.  I've noticed that over half of what I
record is on the cable channels.  I'm particularly fond of Arts & Entertain-
ment.  And a third PBS station which shows stuff the new local ones don't.
//I mainly watch CNN (or CNN Headlines) while exercycling.  It's good
newzak (the news version of muzak).  The same for MTV.

One suggestion:  you don't need to only get cable in your living room.
It's not that hard to install a signal splitter.  That'll give you everything
but the premium channels on your other TV(s).
