This is when I wish my cable company would sell us just 2-3 channels
at a time. History Channel's one of the few I care about.

Of course its the actual content providers that are the problem. They
require the cable provider to carry X channel on basic service, or if
you want this channel, you must buy these 5 also and carry them.

The cable company would happily give you a'la carte, if they were allowed
to purchase the channels that way.
