Re: Ruling said by OwlSaver:Cablevision, you are correct, this is clearly illegal. And oh, by the way, you cannot force your customers to bundle either. You do understand that the "forced" bundling of channels is a technical requirement of analog cable systems, right? The cable company can trap out blocks of channels if you decline to pay for them, but it's not very feasible from a technical or administrative standpoint to trap out individual channels in an a la carte service model.
A purely digital cable plant would solve this problem, but then you'll have people bitching about the fact they need a CableCARD or set top box for each of the twenty TVs they have scattered about the house. |

Well, it's vestigial then in an all-digital world as of the last couple of years (and one that's been all-digital on DirecTV since 1994).
FYI, in case you've been living under a rock, most cable systems in the US are all digital. TWC was one of the first, now Comcast and Verizon are, and I think others are as well. |
