I have Netflix on-line and Amazon on-line today feeding my TV directly over my internet connection, and I order up HD movies all the time; so the hardware and bandwidth exist already. Yet Netflix and Amazon don't offer TV channels a-la-carte. The limitation is not the hardware.

Yep. I have some over-the-air programming and Netflix.

I'd like to have (via IP) one or two cable news channels. But I can't get them without buying a huge expensive bundle. It's a ridiculously distorted market created for the convenience of the cable companies. That's nuts, and hopefully Intel can break us out of the scam and into a free market where consumers can buy the channels they want.

Comcast, Time Warner et al are going to have to get used to the fact that consumers aren't going to keep paying $100+/mo (and rising) for 200 channels they don't want.
