That's fine. I dropped Time Warner and Comcast years ago. Oddly enough, between Youtube, podcasts, Netflix, iTunes, and bittorrent I have no need to have "channels" any more.
If there's a movie or tv show I want to see, Netflix -> iTunes -> bittorrent.
I've actually been finding I watch Youtube more than anything else. I have a particular set of interests and have found a particular set of regular independent producers on Youtube and subscribe to them.
Minecraft: Etho's Lab
Starcraft: HDStarcraft and Husky
Bread baking: multiple
Telescope mirror making: multiple
Photography: multiple
Beyond that, I listen to a variety of podcasts about tech and photography.
I literally have no need for cable tv and haven't for years. All of the interesting stuff is online.
What I'd really love to see is a popular tv show with a loyal fan base but marginal viewers on cable to just switch over 100% to Youtube. Put the episodes in full HD and run regular Youtube ads. Maybe do some in-show advertisement, product placement, that kind of thing.
Recently, Dirty Jobs was cancelled after 8 years by Discovery. That was a really cool show with a loyal fan base. Its numbers got too low for Discovery so they canned it. It'd be the perfect example to try switching to a pure online model.
