Why can’t Comcast just blank out the channels on my cable box that I don’t have when I’m channel surfing?  All it’s doing is reminding me I don’t have that package.  Maybe that’s their clever idea, that it will make me want those channels…  But it’s not working!

“Not Authorized” or “Subscription Service”  How hard would it be to put something nice there.  I wouldn’t want to order it because it makes me feel bad for not already having it.  It also makes my channel surfing experience bad because it hangs up on those channels while it’s trying to figure out what negative message it needs to display for me.

I’d rather just not see it.

Now If HBO and the other premium networks would realize I still want some of their programming, they might be able to make even more money.  If you are a subscriber you can watch it again through “On-Demand” for free.   That only benifits the subscribers and not all their possible viewers.  I’m willing to pay a extra for not being a subscriber, it might even make me want to subscribe at some point.

I’m ready to watch and pay for it.  Maybe that’s the way AlaCarte should work?
