Many cable boxes do not give you that option and many cable companies will not let you block out just one channel.

Hmm...I haven't run into one that doesn't give you that option. All the current cable boxes have that option, as far as I know. And if you're using basic cable, without a box, all new TVs of any size have a blocking option accessible on the remote. You can even set and change the password used to block and unblock.

The problem here is in demanding that nobody watch a channel that somebody thinks is evil. Personally, I find a lot of the televangelists on some of the religious channels to be evil people, preying on the elderly to suck their money from them. I would never, though, suggest that those channels be removed from everyone's view.

I don't watch a lot of the channels on my cable system...ever. I don't even know what's on a lot of them, since I never tune them in.
