Since the advent of digital cable TV, the customers are at the mercy of the cable company and their package offerings. Yes, I can program in "favorites" but as long as I have to pay for channels I will never watch, why should I even see them at all?
I would slap down some greenbacks for a box that
allows me to eliminate the unwanted selections from my on-screen listings. Tired of surfing past EWTN or QVC all the time? - eliminate them from the list! Also, it would allow me to sort the listings other than by channel number.
While not as good as a legacy pirate box it gives back some control to the customer. Yeah, the customers - remember them?
Viewers unite! Fight the MAN!
