I have DISH and get the NFL channel, but I don’t get the NY Yankee channel YES network, maybe I should sue.

SOLUTION: offer ALL channels ala cart

Never gonna happen, and this conflict is why. The NFL, like most other cable networks, wants to be able to make money even if people aren’t watching, even on people that will never watch their channel. As long as the majority of networks charge based on subscribers in the tier cable companies will never offer ala cart, and as long as there’s an ESPN there will be networks charging by subscriber count.
