Just as it is possible to make intelligent decisions with respect to changing
the channel to avoid undesirable content, it is also possible - as is the case
for yourself and Bert - to just say no to the MVPD bundles.
Unfortunately, the ability to access many forms of content - like the FSU vs
Pitt game last night - are limited to those who endure the MVPD business model.
MVPD subscribers can choose not to watch particular shows or channels, but they
cannot "opt out" of paying for them.
There ought be a law…
