This is the reason we need “a la carte” options on DISH, DirecTV and cable.

No sense in paying for crap we don’t want.

It looks like Planet Green is going to be available in HD soon.

That would be awesome and I have suggested that to DirectTV.
I doubt they will though because if the charged say 30 cents per channel, maybe $1.00 for premium, people like me would end up spending $3.00 per month, LOL. I hate having to get trash like Sundance to get the Outdoor Channel, etc.

The industry doesn’t want you to opt out and they lobby the legislature to block any efforts to permit it.

Ultimately Big Media doesn’t like you tuning out.

They offer free subscriptions to their magazines at Best Buy with any purchase, they co-opt the “open marketplace” of music on Myspace (even independent local bands would see a percentage of their online sales going to the major corporations).

They want the public on the plantation getting the infotainment that they want you to consume.
