And for those of us with DirecTV subscriptions, there's that other thing, the five-dollar fee to have your local stations rebroadcast to you.

Then don't pay it. But, you say, it's a convenience to not have to change TV inputs and get (generally) a cleaner signal.

So what part is it that should be free? The part where you're getting an ostensibly better product or the part where they're expending their resources?

Some variation on that response applies to your other points, too.
