The cable companies are partially correct in that you get more channels but you don't have a choice whether or not to accept tham as part of your package.
I get more channels? Thats a new one. Every year my digital cable package through comcrap gets more and more channels PULLED from the basic lineup, and inserts more advertising channels! WOO! Now I have 30+ channels selling me new nose hair trimmers!

And don't forget the ad in the channel guide!

I'm paying those bums $100/mo and I'm stuck looking at ads in the channel guide

And there's the problem. Until you stop paying those bums $100 a month they'll keep treating you like one.
