So I was checking out the channels I got on my HDTV, and for some reason, I now get these 84-1 and stuff like that. I found those were HD Channels, but after looking for a bit, I came across the Dark knight HD, Same with dont mess with the zohan HD. Very confused right now. As on my moms tv it costs 3.99 to watch them, and I'm getting them just switching channels.

And you're complaining?

With out provider, on Pay-per-view movies we used to get the audio from Dolby encoded movies because it was just a pass-through through SPDIF. It doesn't do it anymore, though.

I find it a little annoying that you get all channels anyway and paying more or less determines what your box lets you see. (It's so they only have to put out one stream)

Just worried they may charge more if they find out I've been watching them.

Be careful. My buddy's brother had a similar situation. Then when he moved he plugged in his sattelite reciever to the phone line at his new place and got like $600 in PPV fees.
