GO Internet Sales

I use Windows Media Center on my home television to run DVR, movie playback and a bunch more. The system is not 100% perfect, but it is pretty darn good. Plus, if something blows up, I can fix it. But, as I was watching television last night, I was thinking about the channels that I used to get (when I had digital cable) and how I should simply be able to sign up for them, a-la cart, over the internet and through MCE2005. Seems simple enough to me. I sign up, I download a little plugin for the channel and MCE grabs unique programs for me from that channel when they are made public. Then I can watch the shows at will. Kind of like on Demand, but a little different. I think this is where television and “cable” operations will be in the near future, especially as big, fat internet connections are the norm in everyone’s home. Kind of scary if you are the cable company I guess.
