fhw,

Six Feet Under is the best show on TV, IMO. It's the main reason I have DirecTV with HBO right now. You see, I used to get HBO for free after a cable repair man fixed by cable a little bit too well one year. I got hooked on the show during this extended free preview.

When Comcast bought out AT&T Cable, I guess they noticed this mistake and I stopped getting HBO. My wife made me fix that problem, so I dropped standard cable, got DirecTV w/Tivo and HBO and we haven't looked back since.
