I would like a la carte system but it will kill a lot of channel. What is the use of the Weather Channel???

I really wish I knew what the draw is... my mom loves this weather app that she loaded onto Firefox which will constantly tell you the conditions. I don't see the point in forecast saturation when I do just fine glancing at it once a week or so.

My general comment on the topic is that Comcast is terrible in general. I wish I had options out here... I ditched them for DirecTV television but had to hold onto them for internet.

A la carte programming has always been a tantalizing option, but I seriously dobut it will happen anytime soon. There is too much financial incentive for packaging as it exists now, and too few consumer protections against local provider deals to foster the competition required for reasonable-priced television.
