I so wish, but no. A senator had introduced legislation to that effect, kinda like an ala cart cable selection but it of course has gone nowhere. This is why I don't have cable. I won't pay for the 200 odd channels that I DON'T watch.

Not as of yet but they are trying to work on getting this kind of a concept in to action. It's called al a carte, and I hope it does happen because like so many others there are a number of channels I don't watch on a regular basis.

No, you cannot, but there is hope. "A new lawsuit filed Thursday in federal court in Los Angeles charges that every major cable and satellite provider--and the entertainment conglomerates that feed them content--form a cartel that deprives consumers of choice and forces them to pay "inflated" prices for services that don't correspond to their desires." You can see the entire article from which this quote came at http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9782645-7.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20

They group channels together. U have to pay for the whole package. To get the channels U want U have to pay for basic plus one.
