At our main house in Moultonborough. We have a little more than basic cable with 1 DVR HD box and 2 regular HD boxes. No movie channels or crazy sports packages. We have HS internet through TWC as well. Total package is $148. They get you on the boxes.

We also have a house in Suissevale (also Mboro) that has basic cable (no box, coax connected directly to TV) and HS internet and pay $100.

Both prices include all of the crazy taxes and fees they never tell you about!

Toad- what part of town are you moving to and welcome to Moultonberry! It is a great town.

Thanks for the info. Moving is not a done deal yet. Still need some inspections to be had but have settled with the seller on the price. Good inspection reports and we will close as soon as possible. Part of town is called "Second Neck" area?

Moultonberry?? Might that be a play on Mayberry, RFD?

If you just get internet, it runs about $50/mo plus $5 in taxes. That's about twice what the equivalent service would cost you in a populated area, but...welcome to monopoly pricing. The 'bundled' price gets you about $5 off that if you get a TV package also. (Try to contain your excitement.)

I cut off even basic cable, and I just have internet through TW now. I bought a couple of Roku boxes and a $9.99/mo Netflix subscription, and that gets me all the video entertainment I need.

You can get some news channels through Roku, but the usual suspects (ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/FOX) currently only have digest versions...5-15 minute video clips with the day's news, and not a live feed.

You might be able to get what you need with an antenna...worth a try.

Also, once I switched to the 'internet only' service, they put filters on my line. This works to block out the analog channels, but apparently the blocking technology isn't quite there yet, so I still get 8 or so digital channels (twice...sd and hd) even without the basic cable.

A pretty good number of people seem to use the free internet computer terminals at the Meredith Library, and especially at the Laconia Library which must have ten or more 'puter terminals.

Does Moultonborough or Center Harbor have a library with internet access and computer terminals?

Most likely, none of the public libraries would have a tv viewing room? Libraries and tv seem to be mutually exclusive of one another for some unknown reason?

Moultonborough has computers and free wifi inside during hours and free wifi outside 24X7.

Laconia library is the same. Sometimes, I think there is a party going on in the parking lot after hours. It's really folks using the free wi-fi with their laptops/smart phones.

I'm happy with Metrocast. I get basic cable and internet for less than $70. No box. I have a TV with a QAM tuner. I get HD channels, but you need to 'translate' the channels. For instance Channel 9 is '9' analog, '9-1', HD and '9-5', DT.

With basic internet I can 'stream' movies into my Bluray. Sick!
