I live in the Philippines now, and things here are a bit different... Two years ago, I paid a one time bribe of $20 to the cable man who came to disconnect the service of the previous tenant when I moved in, and now I have about 80 channels, including some sport, movies, documentaries and cartoons for the kids, plus local channels. It's analog though, so quality is not terrific but I guess I can't complain for less than $1 a month
