Cable subscribers: what are your favourite channels?

Since I get basic cable my faves are:

10. Style (Nigela Bites)
9. FX
8. TV Land
7. Comedy Central
6. TLC
5. SciFi
4. Cartoon Network
3. Discovery
2. Gameshow Network
1. HBO

Now if I got BBCAmerica, IFC and Sundance Channel I'd be a really happy camper.

Yours?

Do IFC and TCM always show OAR? I'm pretty sure IFC doesn't and I don't watch TCM much. I don't have FXM either.

As for my favorite cable channels, most of the cable channels I watch seem to only have like 1 show that I watch. That being said though, we just got G4, the videogame network, in my area and I love it. The best thing about it is I like to always have stuff on in the background and I can always put it on G4 since there's only 1 show on the channel I don't like, Portal. The only problem with having it on in the background is a lot of the shows are mostly visual and you don't usually get much out of it by just listening. Still it's the only channel I can always turn on and find something interesting.

TNT (Law & Order, Charmed)
HBO (America Undercover, Six Feet Under, Hookers At the Point Taxicab Confessions, etc.)
IFC (Just a chitload of really cool innovative films)
TLC (I am not the only one that watches Trading Spaces )

I wish I had FX for The Shield and 21 Jump Street reruns
