I feel your pain. We dumped cable provider NTL some time back because of their frakking awful service and went with Sky satellite TV instead - and thank god cos not all that long after there was uproar when, due to Sky and NTL bickering, Sky One was dropped from the NTL package - Sky One being the one channel I care most about on cable/satellite TV that is one of the core entertainment channels (and comes with the standard package so no extra fees required) and shows a lot of the US shows I like including Bones, Cold Case etc and oh yeah, a little show called Stargate Atlantis!! I wouldn't be willing to pay for TV service that didn't include the main damn channel I want so thank goodness we'd already changed provider.
TV companies suck. In fact most big business suck (see ranting on my LJ today) but TV/cable providers are some of the worst. >(
