"  A couple months ago, my father mentioned to me that his cable bill had suddenly shot up significantly (his introductory contract had expired), and that he wasn&amp;#039;t looking forward to the customer service phone call to reinstate the old rate.  And he&amp;#039;s not alone \u2014 cable and satellite TV providers were number two on the list of the most complained-about companies in 2009, according to the Better Business Bureau. (Number one? Cell phone companies.) Which is why I was so intrigued when the folks at billshrink.com told me about their newest money saver: A comparison search engine for finding the best plan, provider, and rate on television service.  The website takes your basic info (where you live, what you currently pay, how many TVs you have), plus more detailed input (Do you watch mainly movie channels? Sports? News? Any fave channels?) to suggest local providers and plans, and what they&amp;#039;ll cost you over one or two years. The tool is still in beta, meaning it&amp;#039;s somewhat of a work in progress (for example, I hope they&amp;#039;ll soon include bundled services) but it&amp;#039;s definitely worth a click. As for my dad, he got his rate reduced by using the &amp;quot;I could take my business elsewhere&amp;quot; trick \u2014 and with this billshrink.com service, he might&amp;#039;ve had an even more powerful bargaining chip. Enjoy TV, movies, and music without the monthly bill with our recommendations for the best free media websites, plus instructions for how to hook up your computer to your TV.
