Cable Service: Two for the price of one, choose one

A complaint I've heard repeatedly from people who have the local cable service.
Channels keep getting switched around: Typically you switch on the TV, select your favorite channel and it appears to have been replaced or moved.

NOT SO, according to this experience.

Bought a new 32 inch flat screen TV, plugged it in and went through a channel search. A totally different channel set-up from what I had been used to. Many identical services at different locations. A few I had not seen before.

Groan.

Hours later, relaxing in the living room, in front of a different TV. The channel lineup I was used to seemed to be restored.
Tuning in both sets, I discovered that two different cable services use the same cable. Should be interesting getting this resolved.
