  1. Once a cable or satellite company can pull off a true full buffet style channel lineup, they will kill it.  Only pay for what you watch.  I have 250+ channels and probably watch no more than 15.  Of those 15, 5 probably get 80% of my viewing.  

     

    They are on the right track with all of these little packages you can get.  But a true pay per each channel option will be a game changer.  

    The cable/satellite cos would love to do this right now. The media companies won't allow it. You want to sell ESPN on your cable co? Well Disney won't allow it unless you also pay for ESPN2, all the Disney channels and the other channels they own. 90% of cable channels are owned by 8-9 companies and they force the Cable Co to pay for the lesser watched channels in order for the privilege of carrying the popular channels - - -the cost is passed to you.

  2. I'm still doing the call up and ask for a discount thing with direct TV, been doing it for 5-6 years now, currently I'm paying about $85(after a $40 discount). i keep hearing they are going to stop that, when they do I'm gone.

     

    I hate to say it but i support dish, the true enemy is the networks/providers that think they deserve double digit increases in fee's every time they renew, someone has to stand up to them.

    Exactly. I really wish Dish/Direct/Cable Cos could be in a dispute with these greedy channels at the same time - - that would really hit them where it hurts.
