Losing the ability to flip through a ton of channels is the fear for a lot of people I think. It's an old, bad habit that people are used to.
Flipping through the channels is not an activity that was designed, but rather a product of an old, crappy cable delivery system. There's a lot of really good content already out there if you take a little time to look (usually the same or better than what's on TV).
The problem is that people need simple - Press power, press "CH UP" button, repeat.

@adam - that's a good point and yes, a hard habit to break.

I think you can blame the oil companies for it. If they did not have to drive out to your place to install the cable box and then drive back to HQ, cable would be 60 dollars again.
When in doubt blame, oil and republicans. Just like everyone else in San Fran.

Did you forget to pay your bill for past 3 months and go $150 or is it just that expensive?

Try calling your cable company and asking if you can SUSPEND your TV service.
It worked for me. I didn't want to cancel (seemed overly harsh). I called and told them I was going to be in Egypt for an extended visit and they suggested the suspend option. (I made up the Egypt story which seemed to help me move forward). That was 14 months ago and the only cravings are for live events. All else can be downloaded or hulu'd. I get a bill every month for $0 which is incredibly satisfying.
