I'm an advocate of a Chinese menu which technically is easily managed via computer these days. I entertained myself the last time I spoke with Time Warner by asking why I had to supplement 15 Jesus channels when I don't watch them. To be honest I don't watch 80% of the channels I have to pay for to watch the ones I do.

The menu-type purchasing is such bullshit. Perhaps if you let people choose to pay for HBO without have to also purchase 27 ESPNs and 62 worthless church channels, there would be less, oh, I don't know, stealing of HBO! (Or illegal streaming/torrents)

I'd gladly buy cable or satellite TV if I could choose and pay for only the channels I wanted, but because they insist on also giving me 54 home shopping networks and cable news channels in addition to NatGeo, TBS, the Science channel and HBO then fuck them.
