I wish the cable companies would charge via a la carte, pick-n-choose
channels. They already have the technology, so it's just something they
need to get around to doing. As more and more people do what my friends
is doing, they will see the market for it and offer it.

I think I read not too long ago where the cable companies *are* losing
market share. So, what you want will probably eventually come to be.
We just have to wait until their anti-competitive monopolies are
whittled down.
