How I Got More True Crime Channels for Less Money
I called up my cable company, Comcast, and asked if they had any specials on. I do this every six months, since their average special lasts about six months.

This time the rep told me she could give me 100 extra channels for less money than I was already paying.

On the new setup, I get ID and Biography. Biography has a lot of good true crime shows, despite the name of their network. ID is terrific:

http://investigation.discovery.com/

In addition, there are some other History Channel versions that have crime shows.

1. That's a great tip!
I have DirecTV, but maybe it's worth a call to see if they have anything like that. :hi:

2. I LOVE ID
It has replaced by "TRU" tv viewing by about 95%-aka the former title CourtTV. Now, to me, TRU TV is nothing more than a lot of stupid reality shows (minus gems like Forensic Files).

3. TRU is a joke
Right, they used to be CourtTV and then they changed to TRU. For awhile their programming was dominated by that bondsman guy, whatever his name is. The network is pitiful and I predict it will not survive.
