Of the 21 channels 4 are for kids and 1 is a foreign channel. If you are not fussed about HD, it certainly would be worth while considering dropping down to the L package and saving some money. You need to ask yourself how many of the above channels you've ever watched, and can you live without them.

Got to admit however as a fan of factual programming the loss of National Geographic and the History Channel would be difficult however still plenty of excellent factual channels in the L package:

Yesterday
Eden
Discovery Channel
Animal Plant
Discovery History
Discovery Science
History 2

Thanks Chad that's a really helpful post. I am considering a downgrade - reading your post it looks like I'd stand to lose 4 or 5 channels I watch regularly, but if I keep Discovery I can probably do without Nat Geo, so it boils down to Fox and Comedy Central Extra.
