People complain about gas prices but I feel I get more by out of burning fuel in my car than watching useless TV. Your thoughts please?

Anyone who thinks they could get a la carte cable TV for $1/channel without a minimum charge of something along the order of $50 is probably dreaming.

Until a year ago I'd have the same list. Now I'd leave out the Discovery Channel. Have no interest in watching a chopper being made.

This would cut cable / satellite bills in half or more for probably 90% of the viewing public. Look for the cable / satellite companies to resist. Note that I'd love to be able to pick and choose my channels, but I do not want the gummint to force them to do it.

Where do those giant sports salaries come from? Cable and satellite companies paying for ESPN, which pays ever higher money to the teams and leagues.

It really burns me that a portion of my Satellite dollar goes to channels in which I have no interest. I canceled my DISH when I told them for the third time that I would not tolerate cross-promotion of the gay channel (HERE) on the HISTORY channel.
