You dodged my question. I wonder why.
 
I understand your situation. It's just largely irrelevant. I do not dispute that you must have access to X number of channels to get the Military Channel and the History Channel, nor have I ever. I actually explained why cable companies group channels into tiers in an earlier post. I only dispute your claim that you buy the "other channels." Unless you have an interest in them, you aren't buying them. You are getting them for free and buying the rest. In other words, if your bill is $x, you are spending $X for the channels that you want and $0 for the ones that you don't, not $x/# channels for each channel. The end result may appear the same because at the end of the day, you are still walking away with the same bunch of channels and you are paying the same price, but the seemingly minute difference on how a consumer gets to the end result has massive implications in the world of business and economics. However, that's a battle for another day. My post was aimed at a claim that someone was overpaying for something that they didn't want, which is simply not true. They are just paying a steep price for the few channels that they do want, but those channels are worth it to them, meaning that they are not overpaying.
