The real savings will be from having the remote control batteries lasting longer by not having to flip through as many channels.
LOL! I don't really want cable, because when we have it, I watch TV more than is productive (instead of FReeping more than is productive ...). So with the current setup, I can say, "We don't really want all these channels ..." and if they change to "a la carte," I can say, "Well, it doesn't cost any less than it did before!"
