Thanks to your patience and support, DIRECTV today entered into a new long-term agreement with Viacom to immediately return all the channels you had previously enjoyed.

I wasn’t bothered but apparently my family decided to switch to Dish. Dish guy came out yesterday and worked for 5 hours setting things up so now we have hoppers and joeys and things I will never use but it is only $40 a month instead of the $80 we were paying for directTV. The only question I asked him was what channels were Fox Business and Fox News. He knew off the top of his head because he said a lot of people ask him about those channels LOL!!

Nice deal, you must have held out after their first offer.
I kept telling him he was wasting my time.

Comcast is the enemy that owns NBC and plagues the cable with the continuous propaganda of MSNBC

[Skooz]

Of note TCM went to HD.

Really? Way cool.

And the email was the first I knew that those channels were missing. I never noticed.

All I know is I was able to watch Tosh.O last night again , other than His show they can keep the rest off

Same here. Tosh is about the only thing I watch on any of the Viacom channels. Turned out it’s a seven year deal which Viacom got a 20% increase, not the 30% they wanted. In this age of saturation and dilution of entertainment and media I don’t see how they can justify any increase.

Be very attentive with Dish Network billing. We were Dish customers for 6 months and not once was the bill correct....always an overcharge. I spent an hour or more on the phone each month, trying to get it corrected. And ours was a set amount....we didn’t use PPV or anything like that. Thank goodness, I was able to cancel my service with them.
