Ever thought that it would be great to get some of those premium cable TV channels for free? For example HBO or Starz. You must be thinking this is going to involve using a legal-shady box or some type of hack, but most of the time just asking works. Well asking in a not so straight way.

First, it’s best if you are ordering a new cable connection your place. If not try to find some problem you are having with your cable connection, maybe quality is bad or lot of disconnects or look into your bill and find some type of mistake. If it’s ordering new cable, when you are talking with them on the phone find something that will not make you happy, usually they take forever to send a technician out to activate your service.

Now that you have something to be upset about cable company, call them up and complain. Try saying you are unhappy and ask them what they can do. Usually they will cut a deal. If they say no, just ask for the manager and say you’re unhappy about the service (in which case you should be now). Most of the time the managers will cut a deal with you. Remember to ask for some premium channels for no extra charge. Other things you might be able to ask is to lower your current service cost. Of course this won’t work 100% of the time.

You have nothing to lose doing this other than a few minutes of your time, and if you are reading this page, thats something you definitely have. Enjoy! I am going to go enjoy some free HBO.
