The Box

My roommate has Tivo and yes, I do like being like being able to tape a program easily though I seldom do. And as on demand television is growing with cable providers what is going to happen to the serendipitous rainy after when a great movie is on? Or a fantastic documentary?

I still think that if cable companies have the capability to block pay channels like the four different HBOs and Showtimes then they should be able to offer a package a la carte, like for 10.00 you get five standard cable channels. Mine would be

American Movie Classics
History Channel
Nature Channel
TNT

And I’d have to think about the fifth.

Perhaps in the quest for consumer driven control of media it will raise the standard especially with advertisers having to reshape how they fit into the paradigm.

And that’s not a bad thing.

Turner Classic Movies - no ads and selections from the true classics to the odd but wonderful things you never otherwise get to see.
