How to Get Extra Cable Channels

While a basic cable package comes with quite a few channels, depending on your specific interests you may find yourself looking for more. Premium cable channels are offered to customers on a subscription basis. These channels are often packaged into groups and usually have themes; as an example, HBO is a channel that shows primarily movies and original programming, while MLB's "Extra Innings" package provides subscribers a way to watch out-of-market baseball games. You can get extra channels with a quick call to your cable company.
