Yes, I know you said "forced to pay" but I'm going to guess there are other channels in your cable package you don't watch.

It's actually quite possible to live without cable. I haven't had it or a regular TV since 2008. I do have Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime and watch all sorts of things streaming.
