Charter Communications wises up

Well, we were paying for broadcast stations only on cable (getting the signals up here in the High Desert without cable is an extremely iffy proposition), but we’d been getting TBS and FX for free. (Along with MTV2, but TiVo can’t find it automatically, and has to be manually sent to it whenever we want to watch it.)

This weekend, Charter Communications finally figured out that FX had slipped through its net, and yanked it from the line-up. Good-bye, The Shield, Rescue Me and Thief.

It’s not really worth paying the whatever more a month for more channels — I don’t need to pay to not watch women’s shuffleboard on ESPN-5 or whatever — but it’s still a little annoying.

More to put on the Netflix queue, I suppose.
