TV providers should let you pick the channels you want and only pay for those. And DN is just retarded, everyone knows DirecTV is does a better job.

You can select channels ala carte, but because of the EXTRA lifetime, HBO, MTV, etc, it brings down the price of the channel subs. Thus you get more for your dollar, even if you don't want it. I'm sure that there are some components or options on many products you own, from your computer to your VCR, that you don't ever use, because it's cheaper to include it,
As far as the "war" I hated seeing the chyron crawl come across my screen telling me that Dishnetwork is going to kill off it's channels. WTF.
Cable companies have been jacking up prices by offering newer and different products such as digital channels, HD, DVR, cable modem, VoIP telephony. You can still get basic cable for a very modest price. You want all the options then you'll be paying for it, which IMO is only fair.
