i started a "call evry day and request speedvision" campagin here. i asked
evry person i knew at the time to call my cable company and add the channel.
in spite of working for the dealership that sold and serviced the cable
company's jaguar i had been warned not to speak to the owner at work when he
was picking up his jag. ok how do you get a point across without making
waves at work? being a subscriber i decided to call daily! we now have
speedvision as an extended channel coverage. it still is not a part of
basic package but knowing people who do not get speedvision, i can relate to
their taking over relatives telivisions during holiday visits out of town!
i do not know if my phone campagin was the reason we now have speedvision or
not. but i would like to think i helped!
chuck
my relatives that lived near baltimore dreaded my visits prior to my
recieving the channel here at home......c.

1/2 years ago JUST for Speedvision (boy, was THAT a struggle with the Mrs!).
Now we have TWO receivers, since that is the ONLY station I watch
regularly...
