Well they could survive by switching to wireless and allow the user to cherry pick. Like I said, what they would lose in bundles they would make up in volume by having smaller numbers of channels but allow the user to pick all the channels instead of forcing them to get channels they dont want in order to get the ones they do.
I hated my standard package because there were only 4 or 5 channels I actively watched. My basic is going to now prevent me from watching three of my favorite channels. But it simply got to the point it was not worth it.
