They (dish/directv/cable) need to get with the program, and go to an a la carte system where you pay for the channels you want, and nothing else. Otherwise, between netflix and internet based tv, they are going to hurt.

that is exactly how i feel as well. i've spoken with directtv, trying to keep my account with them, but their inexpensive *plan* is the family plan, it's all kids channels.
why they can't create a choose your channels plan is beyond me. not to mention why do sat providers require a contract. it's certainly not to cover install fees/cost of new customer acquisition.
