ACA members often find themselves forced to overpay for programming and more. --- Vancouver 2010 alert: some good ancillary news for NBC-U as Comcast tries to figure out how (and whether) to bid for more Olympics and/or challenge ESPN as Whistler/Blackcomb smashed its record for snowiest month at 18 feet fell on the slopes in November. --- Movieclips.com launched backed by six studios with 12,000 clips you can watch and then order the movie.• --- Max
