     Hopefully in sharing this information with everybody, we can start a
letter writing campaign to our individual cable companies, and hopefully get
SCI-FI CHANNEL started off with a bang!  Good luck everybody, and..............
Live Long and Prosper.... Hey, I had to say something corny....*smile*

	Again, the only way to get the cable company to pay attention to you
is to call them and tell them what you want.   I think the cable will be 
just fine without one of the shopping channels or the PPView (but that is my
opinion).  Call them at 448-1000, and tell them that you want the channel
last week!!!
