But since my parents can now view all of the HBO package minus the high def channel on their analog TV in the living room (my TV is in my bedroom), they don't like it because of the unedited content of the movies (they had only the America's Top 60 previously where every movie has been edited for content, more family oriented). So I might see if I can cancel (for a $5 fee) all of HBO except for the high def channel, plus see if I can order only the high def channels from Starz, Showtime, and Cinamax since each of these packages have one high def channel included. I am only interested in the high def channels of these packages because after seeing TV in high def, I just can't be satisfied with SD anymore.
