A new online television service aims to offer what U.S. cable TV companies have resisted for decades -- pay for only what you want. SyncTV, a spin-off from Pioneer Electronics, a division of Pioneer Corp, plans to launch a private test on Monday to offer viewers the ability to download anything they want to a computer from channels they pay for on a monthly basis. Subscription fees range from $2 to $4 per month per channel. Shows will also be offered for sale at $2 per episode. The service is also advertising supported. The launch comes amid an exploding interest in watching video online and a desire by media companies to offer content on every available outlet.
