Starter TV from Cox – 75 channels for $25/month?
I'm moving to a new area soon, and will be unable to use an antenna for the local/basic broadcast stations.
I see that there is a Starter TV option when I search google, and it's $25 a month.
When I go to the cox website (I currently have internet only where I live), and shop to add TV services, I see 2 options to consider.
I see the option for the Basic Box, $4.00/mo, "Watch basic live HD TV channels in additional rooms", and an option for :
Want to use your own equipment? "If you already own a DVR or TV box like TiVO, you can pair it with our CableCard for $4.00/mo. It's a digital cable decoder about the size of a credit card. Just make sure your device is CableCard compatible."
When I click "Shop TV Plans" for either of those options, the only plans/options that show up are for Contour TV, which is $50.
I have no interest in going with Contour TV or paying double just to watch local/basic channels.
Is the old Starter TV (Non Contour) plan still available, or are they forcing new upgrade to go the more expensive route?

Whichever cable-TV option you choose, it'll cost waaaay more than the Cox list-price due to rental fees, Broadcast Surcharge, Regional Sports Surcharge, taxes and fees. The $50 price is just to entice you.
You should look into a streaming service for your local and basic stations. I understand YouTube TV carries local stuff.
