<p>How much does the normal cable service cost? I checked the website off of duke pass and the devilvision link doesn't work for some reason. Do you think have cable is worth it, do people tend to use it much?</p>
<p>I think I remember reading somewhere that basic cable was $32 per month. If you want premium channels like HBO and Showtime...it's $42.</p>
<p>I'm planning on getting cable...but only if my roomate will share the cost or make some other arrangement where he buys stuff for the dorm and I pay for cable or vice versa.</p>
<p>DTV link is working for me:</p>
<p>I thought cable was worth it. Then again, I watch a heck of a lot of TV, and don't tend to watch the same primetime shows as everyone else (so I usually can't use the common room), so your mileage may vary.</p>
<p>it was worth it for my roommate b/c I paid for it all year because he brought the TV and fridge :)</p>
<p>I would have paid for it anyway because it brought people together for sporting events, popular tv shows, ect. It was basically an excuse to have a party in my room</p>
<p>i have the cable/hbo package, and for me it's incredibly worthwhile. i like to get ready in the morning with cnn on in the background, i like to unwind with tv or a movie, i like to be able to watch what i want when i want. but honestly, i go through stages where the tv is basically never turned on, and then there are stages where i watch some every day.</p>
<p>My rommate paid for the cable, but rarely watched it outside of a few sports games (and of course Duke games). I almost never watched it (maybe 6-7 times the entire year). It was weird bcz I used to watch alot of TV, but I got to the point where I just stopped watching altogether. It made me a bit more productive I guess.</p>
