It's funny that this is what people claim the want (unbundling)! Basically, if unbundling ever really happens, you're going to be paying the same amount of money for 20 channels as you currently do for 200.

A law is not the answer.

For me it's about not paying for ads and being able to watch an episode on my schedule. I'd rather pay the same for the 20 shows I actually watch and see them without commercial interruption after I've put the kids to bed, than pay for 200 I don't care to watch while being sprayed by advertisements hoping that a show doesn't air while the family is eating dinner or tucking the kids into bed.

You don't have to buy Netflix to get House of Cards. Previous seasons are available on DVD, iTunes, et cetera.

Not sure I agree with a legal approach, but I understand the frustration. I have an AppleTV, a Roku, and a PS3 (in addition to a cable box). I'm running out of HDMI ports.

I don't mind subscribing to services, but I'm not buying any more devices until this market matures some.

It seems silly that you would want new legislation in this instance. Do you feel similarly about exclusive games on Xbox/playstation? What about apps that are only available for iOS?
