Trouble is, for most viewers, all channels are channel
"3" at the input to the actual TV (where the V-chip is).
However, many set-top boxes have equivalent capability.

We recently fired Dish, and told them
"call us back when you get a'la carte".

The problem here wasn't young family member stumbling
into porn, but the bill-payer (me) objecting to paying
for crap we never watch, including Legacy Media "news"
channels, many seriously slimy leftist propaganda channels
(but also all the sports, and most of the tunes).

The cable and DBS ops can make these pols go away by
offering a'la carte. If they do it cleverly, they can
even make MORE money in the post-alc epoch.

So what do they have against alc?
Set-top boxes needing to be swapped out?
Can't force-feed us lib jive channels anymore?
