Why won't the digital tv companies offer packages you can pay extra for, so you get only the channels you actually want? Not like today, when they offer 'packages' containing one or two channels you want, and several you don't want and will never watch.

I definitely feel that it's a good business model. No doubt lots of people will want to pay not to have to get all the worthless channels. I've never understood why the companies insist on offering tv channels (where they desperately try to cram commercials down our throats), but no one really want to watch. Is that really profitable?

If I could afford to, I'd cancel my tv subscription and buy DVD boxes instead, but unfortunately that's not possible right now. Besides, my mom wants to watch all the news shows, so I guess it's impossible anyway. Not until I can finally move away from here, but I'm guessing that's not going to happen until I'm going to be buried (and not even then will I escape this vile little town).

Another idea I had was just broadcasting sports on one channel - The Sports Channel - possibly with news in between - and remove all the sports from the other channels. But I'm guessing that's something only my sister and I out of all the people in the world, would appreciate.
