Again I'm only 10 days into direct & other than having speed now & the premium channels that are free for 3 mos. (I feel sick saying this) I should have just beat up Comcast & done an agreement w them.if they cancel the Viacom deal I will go back if com gives me a killer deal, even though it was never great at least it was consistant...
Just a quick note, cancelling the shopping channels would INCREASE your bill. Those channels all pay DirecTV to be carriedMe too! You can nix ALL the Shopping, Christian, & Mexican channels for starters.

I saw your other thread, and it definitely sounds like you have a dish pointing issue. Check your transponder signal strengths. If they aren't upper 80s into the 90s, you probably need to tweak the pointing a little.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."
--Thomas Jefferson
If shit goes down it won't be a problem any longer.
This is a big step for the consumer!! Finally a company stands up to the networks who are losing money hand over fist due to DVR's, and they want to pass their losses on to the provider, who will then pass it on to us.
I am behind DirecTV telling Viacom to shove it up their ass. Lose all your ad sources because 20 million people will no longer view your shit you call TV.
The more I look at their channels the more I am glad I won't see it there anymore, though I don't hate the kid channels or CC. That said, all the jersey shore real world kardashian lame shit can die in a fire as far as I'm concerned, though other people in my household will lose their minds.

Looks like they are gone. I turned on Nick Jr and there is a multi-channel thing like the tennis coverage, where you can choose from the remaining kids channels.
How will I watch people take a shit while skateboarding without Tosh? Oh yeah, I can search the web myself and not have to hear his lame comments. Hmmm. Win.
Yup, checked Comedy Central this morning too and got that same multi-channel thing. Tosh.O is one of my favorite shows so I am bummed and hope this gets worked out.

AGREED...
unfortunately it won't
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
The only thing I'll miss is ComedyCentral. I'm sure it'll be figured out shortly anyway.

Article brings up a good point. DirecTV should pro-rate the difference for everyday we are without these channels! You know they won't though, but at least it is trying to be worked out.
Agreement reached. DirecTV held their ground against Viacom idiots, settle on yearly fees of $600M + subsequent percent increases yearly for five years.

Yep, got an email this afternoon. I still missed 2 episodes of Snooki & Jwow!!

There's are only three things worthwhile on that show:I still missed 2 episodes of Snooki & Jwow!!
- Making incessant ridicule at JUST HOW FUCKING STUPID THOSE clowns are, and how bad of a scary-level-of-dumb Italian-guido stereotype they continue to promote. Besides Pauly-D & Vinny, they actually seems like pretty cool dudes with half a brain at least. The rest should shoot themselves.
- Bar fights, chick fights, drunk fights, etc.
- J-Woww's tits. A tad too big, but fun to watch in her never-ending parade of slutty-ass boob outfits.

Thank God my over the air HD won't be affected...LOL
While these two had been arguing, they most definitely sent some of their previous consumers to bitorrent lol.
It was resolved last week....
I wonder if Comcast will hold their ground too when its their turn !
They all did that too me a few years ago....
A lot of TV shows free online. Downloading TV shows I don't see a big deal, it was okay to use your VHS tape back in the day to do it. *shrug*
