In the meantime, I "opt in" by just buying/renting the programming I want to watch on DVD and boycott the pay-tv industry altogether.

I'd like to have some channels but can't justify the cost. I can buy several DVDs for what a month of cable or satellite costs and these programs don't even get aired.

It would be nice to have cable for some breaking news items but I've seen just how lousy "The Weather Channel" is at actually having current reports (they lag by hours even during emergencies). I'm also aware of how bad "news" channels are; FR gives me enough of a "breaking news" report.

Netflix, $20 a month, all you can watch! We love it.
