Local stations covering the three networks and PBS, WGN (Chicago), WTBS, CNN, CHN, CNN Headline, MTV, CBN, USA Cable, Nickelodeon (for kids) and a few Christian channels and National Weather Service maps, are included. HBO and Cinemax are available, to my knowledge. I do not miss the availability of the Playboy Channel, but to each his/her own taste. There is also a helpful service of carrying shows on the networks via a nearby affiliate (usually Terre Haute, IN) when the local affiliate preempts them. In Ann Arbor, Michigan, where I last lived, services provided and costs were about the same, but Bravo (cultural), the Disney Channel, the Movie Channel and the Playboy Channel were also available as premium services. -------------- "...watch TV?
