Cable TV A La Carte?

Posted by michael on from the two-from-column-a-and-one-from-column-b dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "According to this BusinessWeek article you can now get your MTV a la carte. I having been waiting for years to buy my cable by the channel, and this article indicates that my cable company is now legally required to let me. I am going to call Time Warner tomorrow with my list just to see what they say. Anyone out there doing this now?"

    My wife would divorce me if I were to cancel Lifetime.

      I'm recently divorced and can honestly say the best part is never having to sit through another Trading Spaces marathon! :)

      I put the parental block on HGTV, Lifetime and TLC after she started watching this crap and had me paint the whole fscking house.
      I set the password to '1234'. She'll never figure it out...

      Just hope that isn't the combination on her luggage...

      What you should have said was Only a drugged up lesbian designer who has no children would think Gluing hay on a wall was a good idea

      No way.. paint chips & hay are a great afterschool snack! ;)

    Just what we need, a thread where all the Slashdotters post lists of their favorite TV channels. Don't you people go out?

    I can't, my parents lock the basement door.

    True SlashDot geeks are watching the Discovery network channels, National Geographic, and the History channel any chance they can get.

    Thanks for reminding us, Dexter. Sometimes I forget what I am supposed to watch or do so that my membership in the True SlashDot Geek Club won't lapse or be revoked. I'd hate to have to turn in my decoder ring.

    All my free-thinking and living-my-own-life crap sometimes plays havok with the whole /.-Hive-Mind, but I'm working on it, really I am. Still, It's real swell to know you're here and have the time to set me and all the other strays back on the path of True Geek Righteousness.

    Thanks again, bro!
