Re: I no longer believe...

And I thought it was just me paying $60/mo (2nd lowest package) for nothing more than a clear picture and endless variety of commercials that will change my life.

Personally, I could give a crap less about packages yadda yadda - I want more than ONE cable co in my area, only then will prices begin to be reasonable.

You got that right.

If I want a channel that's not in my "package", I have to buy another package, even though there are 30 channels in my current package I never, ever watch.

That's the flaw in the argument. I can't trade channels to see what I want - I'm forced to buy high $ packages to get what interests me.

As for channel surfing, since the networks bought into the cable channels there's very little original programming. Endless reruns of network shows - wow. Just how much Law & Order do we need to see? ESPN no longer carries sports - they just talk about it a lot. No, thanks.
