Is anyone as ticked off as I am about cable, digital, HD, DVR and internet

connections? Does anyone else feel like they are being taken by the cable and cell phone companies as I do?? I'm trying to make sense out of what is happening to television and I get a notice from Qwest that I need to set up a service call because they are upgrading my neighborhood and my cable package will no longer be available. I never had any say in this. I signed up for a "Price for Life" promo for my internet service but now I find that it's no longer going to be available so now they can charge me more than my guaranteed "Price for Life". Not to mention HD TV and DVR's Did anyone have a say in any of this confusing technology???
