The technology is there and it can be done. I would love this so I could get rid of channels I never watch or intend to watch. I probably could cut at least 5 to 10 stations I have no interest in. Now the big question is will the cable company give me a better rate or charge me more for the Al LA Carte service???????????

It will if Ted Turner has his say I would imagine.

Probably not but wouldn't it be better to actually pay for what you want?

They ain't gonna charge ya less, and you can take that to the bank!

Correct. Pay-per-view already exists and it would only be an extension of it. If the cable company provided a simple web site or phone menu system you could pick once a month or so what channels you wanted for that month and that would take care of your viewing choice and billing.

I think you already know the answer to that, it would probably be $20.channel
