Okay, another thread spurred this question....so I'm going to post it for general consumption...

Regardless of which TV carrier you use, eg Cox, DirectTV, Dish, whatever, what channels do you actually watch on a regular basis?

I got to thinking about my Cox service, and realized the following:

* We NEVER watch/listen to/use ANY of the music channels. Never.
* We *do* watch the ESPN* channels, but primarily during football season. Not so much otherwise.
* We *do* watch the NFL network.
* We do watch TLC and Discovery, although that's decreased a lot in the last couple of years.
* We never watch any of the Spanish language channels
* With the kids getting older, we have ever-decreasing interest in Nick/Disney/etc

Really wondering if the package is worth it. Then again, I suspect the providers have cut their packages such that they know the popular channels, and craft their packages to force you to get the biggest packages just to get the minimum popular channels, just like the auto manufacturers force you into a dozen worthless "upgrade" accessory packages to get "luxury dome lights.." LOL.

Anyway, what do you watch? Not watch? Could live without? Have to have?

Interested in the responses...
