History Channel - tonight - 8PM.

It's a great show - well worth watching a second time.

Um - Rogue Wave isn't my evil cousin.

Rogue Wave is my evil alter-ego.

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.

They may not be happy about it, but it's already being discussed in the news
as a possibility. The problem I see, from a business standpoint, is that
although some customers like me will certainly upgrade and buy a few
channels, many customers who have the premium package will also downgrade.
The cable company could find out who might do what, but that would involve a
survey, which makes too much sense. Why would Time Warner want to make a
better business decision rather than a lame one? That's silly.

DirecTV lets you add channels individually to the basic package. At least
those that aren't 'premium' channels. I added one of the outdoor channels
to pickup the few boating programs available.

That's nonsense.
