Yeh. I have 69 in Cox Basic Extended and I watch maybe 20. They have 2 ABC, 2 CBS and 2 PBS, 1 poor quality Fox, plus 3 other 'localized' channels, and just recently added WB and UPN. They did have 2 NBC, but dropped one for a new Spanish channel.
I would gladly get rid of 40 channels, if I could choose which ones.
I would try satellite, but I like cable Internet. Satellite Internet is around $70--way too high.
If/when the developing broadcasts over existing electrical lines become available, they may challenge both cable and satellite. Their Internet, however, from what I've read, is still much slower than cable. My cable internet recently upgraded (at no cost) from 1 Mbps to 4 Mbps.

The problem is that cable has a monopoly. What cracks me up is to see their commercials making fun of satellite but if you go by the cable company's HQ, they receive most everything VIA satellite. If I was a satellite company's marketing guru, I'd run a commercial asking why the cable company hates satellite dishes so much, yet relies on them so heavily.
