Cable companies require subscription to their packages before you can subscribe to an individual pay channel such as HBO or Showtime. Would you want to bypass the cable company's package and subscribe to a single pay channel for a monthly fee? Or do you like having other channels offered by the cable companies like Bravo, Real TV, the History Channel, etc?

+5I don't watch much television. I don't watch many movies either. That would require me to log off the internet. You wouldn't want that now would you? LOL
Out of 180 channels watch 7 and didn't like 4 of them.
Maybe. We have no TV now but when I visit friends there are maybe 3-4 worth while channels....the rest is garbage that I do not want my kids around at all.
