Here, in the Netherlands, you pay a fixed price (I think it's between €16 and €17 per month) to watch cable TV. This includes the three Dutch channels, the 2 Belgian ones, some German, French, BBC, and I believe at least Discovery Channel. (25 analog, 60 digital of which 14 are HD) We dropped the fees like the UK still has. So, if you don't have cable (but only that antenna), you won't pay a thing.
We have an extended package though, so we pay an extra €13 a month. This means we have the whole list, except those that must be paid for per month (such as HBO).

They tried to create custom packages here. Never was a success, so they returned to the three standard packages.
