It's not a matter of turning the channel. Right now, you're *forced* to pay for channels you don't want in order to get ones you do want. 15 years ago, this made sense. But with current technology there is no excuse for it.
This all depends on the prices they set for a la carte. I can see the cable and content companies complaining about this but then sitting in a back room figuring how to use this to screw the consumers again.
If I could get locals, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, Fox Sports, MTV, TBS, Comedy Central and Fox News for a decent price it would be great. Doubt anything will happen in a long time though...Weren't all the broadcast companies required to have HD broadcasts by now but it keeps getting delayed?
