I would rather just pay for the channels I do watch, but I don't see that idea ever happening. It would be interesting to see how fast the quality of TV were to change if people could "subscribe" and only pay for the TV they wanted to watch.
It would be nice to just get the shows you wanted to watch vice the whole network, you can but you have to stream it off the internet and you can't always do that for every show.
I have to pay extra if I want the "adult" channels. ( I don't) I shouldn't have to pay for the disney channels I don't want, or the 24/7 rap music channels, etc...
I think the only way we will ever see “conservative” TV is online. Online-TV is probably where it’s all headed anyways.
I watch a lot of foreign television with subtitles and almost nothing on TV here.
