I think I have gone down one tier in the last couple of years to save money. I get about 120 channels but Current is blocked. In my area MSNBC is 56 and Current is 107. I get channels like H2 and BBCA that are 116 and 114 respectively but can't get Current. Seems to me they have relegated it to a third tier even though I do get channels with a higher number.

I remember them doing that with MSNBC back when Donahue was still on. I could keep CNN and FOX on a basic tier but if I wanted MSNBC I had to go with a higher tier. That is what I did so I think I am on some middle tier but not high enough to get Current.
