do you have to pay for "standart" tv in america as well or only for pay tv? here in germany we have pay tv and standart tv but the joke is we have to pay for that as well. ok it has much less advertisement because of that and we would have never a situation like you have in america on super bowl for example (hell this is a lot of advertisement you have there) but that means if we wish to have as many channels as you have with this deal we need both (with less hd channels).

it costs like 20€ for the normal tv and radio (for everyone in germany the same except jobless) + pay tv which would cost like 50-65€ for the whole sky program for most people if they don't get a nice deal like me, i pay 33.90€ for the whole sky pay tv program and this is very lucky.

then internet with this speed hmm like 40€ i think but i don't know exactly i can't have this speed where i live :(

so for tv, internet, phone and the game/xbox live we have to pay like 130€ here which means $170 and the dollar is strong atm against the euro lol. few month ago this was $200.

in america you have like 3 free stations which are basically the news.
you pay a provider to get everything else
for most its between
Basic cable- about 70 channels
 premium cable which has a lot more
or fios which has about the same but some channels are differnt ( i know its wierd)
there is also satellite but that is mostly phased out.
 its kinda dumb, because other then the free 3 channels each other package is about $50 a month. so its about quality and how much a pain in the ass it is to switch providers.
