I want to see a better cable/TV company. Where instead of paying for 500+ channels. You get 10 personalized channels. Where each particular channel learns what you like and suggests content that you might like. So I can program a channel for my kids and using some web based ui preload the channel with content I approve.Think pandora + TV content.

I'd imagine on the business side of things you can collect some of these preferences and then in turn serve ads based on my preferences rather than blindly trying to get someone to look at your ad.

Remove the slow step top boxes the complicated remotes the tv guide channel. Simplify everything to the basics. I think hulu is a nice start but this is what I think are looking for.

Cable/IPTV companies are some of the last surviving tech dinosaurs. When will they wake up and tell the content providers that they will not carry their content bundled? A la carte channel selection is the only way I would ever have traditional TV in my home. Charge me $X.XX per channel and let me choose just the ones I want. I thought that IPTV would provide this, but the content producers are the kings.
