How on earth can you blame the family if they had no idea what had transpired the night before. With all the new privacy laws from the government the police probably couldn't legal tell the family members what happened. I do know that when a person is taken in on a threat of suicide that normally they are put on a 72 hour hold, not arreasted, but held for 72 hours so that something like this doesn't happen. My deepest sympaties goes out to both sides of the family.

Ah, janesvilleman you are so wrong, it was not the cable company who pushed for the state wide franchise, but it was the Telephone company so that they could offer video service without having to pay local franchise tax fees. And may I add that the only reason there is currently local access channel to even watch is because of the franchise agreements between the cable companies and the cities. most of the time the money that the cable companies have to pay to the cities to even offer service pay for those local acess channels.

If you don't have a Digital Ready TV by Feb 2009 you will not be able to get any signal from the local off air stations unless you have purchased a digital ready box from a store. This is thanks to the FCC mandate for all T.V. stations to switch to digital to free up bandwidth.
The other was is if you have cable or satillite. So if you think that it is all the Cable Company's fault, your wrong! Thank your Government.

meinelkm20 you signed a contract with charter?? Since when do you have to sign a contract to get cable. You do however have to sign a contract to get a dish and if you don't like the dish you are stuck with it for two years.
