No. Some body or some entity tried to get the local cable company to allow customers to select only the channels they wanted/watched sans any others that might normally be included in a certain cable channel “package” but it was denied as being too technical/expensive to accomplish. (Each customer would have to have his/her cable access connection specifically set up to allow the precise channels wanted.)

I can’t actually recommend a provider, but I can tell you that there is almost certainly one out there that will come close to what you’re after, if you can include the satelite and internet folks in the mix.

same feeling.
Maybe the storage ability of a vedio web company is limited, so it has to upload as many vedios most people want to watch as it can. allocating most resources to most people.

Get a streaming device/smart TV and subscribe to a streaming source like Netflix or Filmstruck with Criterion package.

No, there is nothing that is that good. Even Netflix.

The problem is licensing. The content owners (studios, etc.) want to control content in order to make it more costly. So they make their films – even older ones – seem rare by withholding them from the market to create a false sense of value. Then they will license them for a year or so, and take them off the market again.

None of the streamers – Google Play, Apple, Hulu, Netflix, whatever – have a comprehensive big list of almost all films. They’re being held back artificially.

Among other things, that’s why torrenting is still so popular. Because torrents are the ‘real’ market, not the fake market that the content providers are trying to control.
