Channels you can do without
What are some cable channels you can do without? Yes, that includes local affiliates as well.
Here's my list:
Playboy TV
Spice Channels
Pay-Per-View
Shopping Channels
Showtime
The Movie Channel
Channels that have a test pattern 24/7 (Although I record them on the last 5 minutes of any recordable tape)
C-SPAN Channels
Style
Leased Access
Adult Swim segment of Cartoon Network (They should make Adult Swim a seperate channel)
WE: Womens Entertainment

All of those apply to me, but add one more: HGTV. It's just not for me.

I agree. They should make it its own channel and run Aqua Teen more often.

I'd agree with your list except for C-SPAN. I'm an absolute C-SPAN junkie.
