First off, the 50 channel starter pack (which is required) contains a nice mix of genres and categories; some of the more popular channels include: A&E, History, TBS, CNN, TNT, FX, TLC, diy, Spike, Travel, Cooking Channel, WGN, AMC, IFC, etc. Each of the 8 channel packs contain a set of top tier channels; so, for about $10, they're generally quite a good value. You can also swap or add/remove extra packs on a whim (at no extra charge), so you may want to try a few out and adjust as needed.
