Yeah, I really enjoy
... those ELEVEN worthless home shopping channels that all cable and space-based systems "bundle" into their least expensive tier.

They bundle those on the lowest tier because they know that no one in their right mind is going to pay a few bucks more a month for a higher tier just to get the "I'm too lazy to get off the couch and go shopping" channels.

No, they leave the crap channels in tier 1, and they add the decent channels like Discovery and THC to the higher priced tiers.

So it's going to be priced higher if they go ala-carte. Big deal. I'm already paying $50+ a month to get 160+ channels, 100 of which I will never watch.
