Re: More commercials
What about networks like ESPN, Fox News, MTV, Spike TV, the list goes on and on...I pay for those channels, but I'm still subjected to commercials out that a$$. If they did offer versions without commercials.

Exactly...You are not paying for the tv station, you're paying for recieving them. So you only pay the Cable company. The channels themselves have to make money somehow, which is why there are commercials.
edit: and if they had versions of it without commercials, you would be paying a lot to watch them.
