I don't believe any carrier offers true a la carte channel selection.
Are you referring to the Dish "channel packs," and just that you happen to like the channels in the pack(s) you get?
And Jack, don't go blaming just the carriers. They can't license just the channels people want because the content providers demand they contract for a package with a bunch of garbage channels too.
In the more publicized contract disputes between carriers and content providers, it's hard to tell who's position is more unreasonable, but I suspect many cable companies would be HAPPY to sell customers only what they want IF they could pay the content providers for only those channels, and not all the others along with it.
