Without knowing the cost it is hard to say. I can promise you will not be able to sign up for 5 channels and have a 5 dollar bill. In addition to programming costs, there is some fixed cable costs which they will bill you for. They will make sure they get that money no matter what since they need to make thier debt payments. Imagine the deal is that you have a 10 dollar base and each channel you want costs 5 bucks. Would you want that deal? And why stop at channels. Why not pick individual programs. I might like monday night football but why should i pay for soaps I never watch? At certain level people are happy when they have fewer choices to make and when the cost of the choice is deterministic from month to month.
