Well, keep in mind that FOX jacked up their rate 50%. Choose your villain wisely. No outlet for FOX is safe.

The station may show it’s still there...but when I looked at mine, the main show I watch there “Sons of Anarchy” is not on...

I’m pissed.

Damnit.

I missed the season premiere of Sons and the replays so I had to download it (torrent). I had to download every episode so far cause I was behind (I’m that one guy without a DVR). Finally I remember to watch a replay of the last episode and...it’s not on because this is day 1 of FX and Disk Network being a bunch of (vulgar slang for sexual intercourse)ing (vulgar slang for homosexual men). So now I have to download it again and maybe for the rest of the season because of these (vulgar slang for the orifice solid waste comes out of).

BTW GOPster I caught that show ‘The League’ last night, hilarious stuff, you were right.

Yeah it says “FX” but some lame movie is on. And another lame movie after that.

Maybe God doesn’t hate you as much as he does most people.

I checked in on the DISH site just now and saw this..."DISH Network will continue to negotiate in good faith for a fair deal with FOX to help restore the sports programming and prevent outrageous rate increases in this challenging economic environment. In the meantime, during the FOX lockout, DISH Network will make the following channels available to all affected customers at no additional charge: HD Net Movies, HD Theater, NBA TV, New England Sports Network, NFL Network, NHL Network, Altitude Sports, Big Ten Network, Comcast SportsNet California, Comcast SportsNet Chicago, Comcast SportsNet Bay Area, Comcast Sports Network Mid-Atlantic, Comcast Sports New England, ESPN Classic, FOX Sports Northwest, FOX Sports Pittsburgh, FOX Sports Rocky Mountain, Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, Mid-Atlantic Sports Network2, SportsNet New York, and SportsTime Ohio."

Too bad I don't watch sports.

Fox news is a necessity.

There are posts on the web that give the highlights of everything worthwhile on Fox News. Your requirements for necessity" are no doubt larger than mine. I can listen to Glenn Beck on the radio, and O'Reilly became a non-necessity when he began going over the top fair-and-balanced toward Obama's agenda (more often than not giving him the benefit of the doubt). The only one I miss on Fox News is Neil Cavuto.

I have it on during the day just out of habit and usually end up yelling at the stupid talking head on it anyways.

It became a no-brainer when my husband started becoming very irritated when he couldn't find the remote to mute the same commercials repeated day after day after day). He'd switch over to watch Spongebob episodes that he'd already seen 90 times before.

Our health insurance bills are going up substantially for 2011 so we cut back. Here's Fox News, insisting on extra nickels and dimes from all viewers in these tough times. This isn't the first time Fox News has done this. I have no desire to contribute to the salaries of Rupert Murdock, Bill O'Reilly, Shepard Smith, Alan Colmes, Marc Lamont Hill, Geraldo Rivera or Karl Rove. Neither of us misses it one tiny iota.

Well I like sports. The only 1 of those channels though that I don’t already have that I’m particularly interested in having is ESPN Classic. It used to be on my package till they changed it to being a sports extra or something.

It’s not been “made available” to me yet.

Well I like sports.

I like professional bull-riding and I remember a few years back, the Versus channel had the same problem with DISH. Eventually Versus was back with the PBR on DISH.

I'd just like this to get settled because I like SOA also.

Me too. It’s so annoying.

Fox shows haven’t gone anywhere yet I hope they don’t follow suit, at least they are readily available the next day to watch online if that does happen.

To Watch SOA without FX one has to engage in piracy.
