And you don't have the ability to skip commercials. I really don't think this is going to be as great as some people think. I'd rather get more for my money instead of paying a lot for just what I want when it comes to TV. I enjoy having the option to watch just about anything I want.
That's where I'm at with it, even before I got the rate of a lifetime, I was still willing to pay more. I don't typically know what I want to watch, until I thumb through the guide.
One thing that I have seen just once, is a terrible idea, but would benefit some greatly. Make TV watching, like going to the "build a yogurt" shop. Every channel is available to you, and you pay by the amount that you watch, in 30 minute increments. If you watch for 10 minutes, thats 30 minutes of TV. 29 minutes=30 minutes. 32 minutes= 1hr. If you are channel surfing and watching 15 different channels(longer then a set time on each channel, such as 2 minutes), then you pay a surcharge. This way, each individual is charged for their actual usuage. This idea is not practical, and would never work, but would be an interesting concept service, that would really show people complaining about their bills that they are getting the better value, most the time. People that don't watch much TV, well they would probably be ecstatic. LOL. I would be in the 'Screwed' list.
