this is the network everyone can have for about € 10,- every month without some kind of digital reciever....
there are also 2 digital (and expensive) packages available, one with Canal+, and one with pay-per-view and channels like Sky News, Travel Channel, Zee TV and Bloomberg.....

The list is a little tedious for most people to write out, but you can have a look at Zap2It to see what I get on my TV set. (I only get up to CPAC/Ch. 78, since I don't subscribe to Digital Cable.)

I had AT&T Digital when I lived in Seattle and I am NOT about to spend an hour typing out all the channels! I had Discovery Wings and MuchMusic. Nuff said. I just moved 5 blocks from my bro's apartment in Vancouver and we have AT&T basic (N400QX line-up minus CBC and UWTV). But I have a mini-dish. Wings will be back in no time!!!!!

I pay $78 / month for every channel they offer. Its AT&T Digital Cable in Dallas, Texas. USA.
I get those above in N400's list plus about 20 all movie channels, BBC, Discovery-Wings, Dis-Science, Dis-Civilization, some regional sports channels, and a bunch of channels where they offer classes from the local community college.
There are about 10 pay per view channels that have movies for about $5.00. They come on here about 2 months before they're on video/DVD.
My favorites are ESPN for SportsCenter, History Channel, TLC, and all the Discovery Channels.
There is also this built in digital interactive guide that gives you a full schedule and summary of each show & you can set reminders.
I like it, but I only watch about 10 channels regularly. The problem is that you have to get the full package to get the few channels I really like.

But on the other side my house in Klarenbeek has got all the chanesl you can get here in Holland.
So maybe you should think of moving to Klarenbeek.
