I understand your point and don't disagree with you there. The problem is that people are changing, the times are changing, and broadcast companies aren't. I personally want more control over what I watch and when I watch it. My cable tv subscription was about as useful to me as burning $60 / month. I watch very little TV in general, and when I can get any TV show I want from Netflix for $15 a month, or the shows that are on too late for me to watch are showing up online, by the broadcast companies, for free, it's hard to say that cable is still worth anything. I'm also not a big sports guy, that seems to be the one niche that's really keeping cable tv alive, but even that is moving more and more to be online available via subscriptions and what not, for better and more choices, TONS more choices. The advent of things like Google TV should be a massive wake-up call to the broadcast industry. The fact that the first thing major networks do is block the device, even though it's no different to someone on a computer shows that they're scared. They need to not follow the RIAA and fight to the death to keep the old ways, they need to adapt to the times, figure out how to build a new monetization strategy around internet content availability, and finally move into the 21st century.
