Or....how about a full list of every channel available with it's cooresponding monthly cost listed next to it??
The "most watched" channels would be the least expensive, the "least watched" more expensive, and the really esoteric ones...very expensive.
Check the box next to the ones you want to watch, and bingo! "AL A CARTE"!!
Give the cable companies the right to change the line item pricing once per year...but...no contracts....free to have multiple "servers" (multiple cable and satellite coming into one address) at any time.
That ought to do it!
Just thinking...next step would then be the ability to order "on demand" using the internet. A popular channel would cost you, say..."$0.005 per hour" to watch.
Comcast is what we have, and we had to get an upgraded channel package to get the internet one.

Good idea. Maybe someday. Till then, I do the antenna.
When we had it before, you could get phone, cable and internet seperately. Of course, they bundle them to make the price less horrendous.
Are you saying you are unable to get internet alone?
That’s correct. No channel package = no internet access. We had to upgrade from basic cable to a whole bunch of stuff we didn’t want and never watch.
