Re: family values suck, but not a good idea Why not packages like this:
1. Any 5 basic cable entertainment channels for $4.99.
2. Any 10 basic cable entertainment channels for $8.99.
3. Any 3 basic cable sports channels for $6.99.
All would be on top of the broadcast channel package.
So if I wanted to watch just the broadcast channels plus SciFi, FX, TCM, Lifetime and Discovery then my cable bill would be about $20.00 for the programing.

how many people would be on digital if cable didn't force you to get digital by putting some good channels ONLY on digital tier?

I really don't see why it can't be done in the US. Quebec largest cable company, Vidéotron is doing something like that with their "20/30 channels à la carte" digital packages for respectively $20 and $30/month (on top of the basic $14.99 basic package, which includes the local OTA channels, weather, the local equivalent of C-SPAN, etc).
With the 30 channels bundle, you also get your analog cable for free, which is perfect for a MythTV system with two or more inputs, since you can eliminate duplicates by carefully choosing the digital speciality feeds you subscribe to in order not to duplicate what's already there on analog.
With the 30 digital - 40 analog package and a 4-input MythTV system I record 50-75 hours a week. Needless to say, some of it goes directly to /dev/null! | |
