Can't We Pay Only for the Channels We Watch?

by P E Bach
(Chandler, AZ , USA)



I used to have my own satellite 81/2 remote dish. All reception was free. Then somehow someone came up with charging us. Then the dish networks came along.

We can no longer choose what we want to watch but are forced into certain packages. Most of these packages are not signals we would ever look at. So we pay for about half of what we actually use. My question is why can't we be allowed the choice of choosing the channels we will be watching and only have to pay for those channels?

I have looked on-line with receivers that allow me to go through my computer, big deal. How can such a package be diverted to my TV? When can someone just come up with a simple plan, that does not cost so much and will allow me to just watch that which is of interest to me and my family?

You can tell if I had free satellite that I am a little older but don't feel much smarter. Anyone have ways to improve on what is out there?

I agree

It's ridiculous to pay for garbage you don't even want to surf. It seems like a Marxist implementation of programming.

Let the channels fail if there isn't enough demand.
