Hallmark has managed to be included in cable packages of channels offered.

If you have cable, they will be getting support from you, whether you want it or not.

75% of the cable channels could not exist on their on, but this bundling allows cable companies to brag that they offer hundreds of channels for a single price of $XXX. I currently pay almost $250 per month for a cable/internet/phone bundle that offers hundreds of channels, yet we only watch about 50 (that is including all the premium channels like HBO/Cinemax/Starz. We only watch ONE sports channel (Olympic sports), and NO FOX channel of any category will ever dirty our teevee screen. Same with any religious channel.

A la carte cable offerings would eliminate a lot of this crap. I am tired of supporting venues that are working against my interests. With computer cable boxes, it should be easy.
