The networks broadcast over public airwaves.  They have no right to tell you when you can and cannot change the channel.  CATV is another matter of course.

I have currently 1742 tv-channels available on my box. For 25 of them I pay a fee to the provider, the rest are free.

The only prob with this amount of channels is that you easily spend the whole night just browsing through them.
