I'd imagine most XL customers could identify between 30 to 50 channels they could live without.
If you went to Sky, you'd get about 450 channels that you never watch!

Seriously, it makes economic sense to do it this way. If you have a family, there needs to be something for everyone. Also, if you want to get only the channels that you tend to watch, you will have to pay more for those channels otherwise everyone will get less choice. So you wouldn't end up any better off if they did it your way, you'd just pay as much for less.
