While it may be perfect for a one or two person home, for many the drawbacks would likely be having to do the controling for the kids in the house. If they don't like it or want to watch something else, you have to stop what you're doing and pick thru the list again, ect.
It might get quite tedious after a while.
Also you would want to know what it is you want to watch.
As it is now, I can skip thru the channels until I find something interesting, or just record what I want to watch later. I'd hate to be paying for TV shows that turn out I wasn't interested in once I started watching them.
We have the basic cable package, 130 channels, for approx 59 dollars a month. Will we watch 59 shows a month? Probally not, but that 59 dollars does cover 4 TV's (1 Cable Box, 3 DTA's) and the choice to jump around untill we or the kids find something we want to watch. If it's a specific thing, then we can "on demand" it if we want.
Nothing against the concept, just that there are easier ways of doing things worth paying for.
