Dish dropped AMC to so walking dead for me 
I also missed the first few weeks of SoA last year when they dropped FX. It's getting stupid, I chose a service and picked the package that had all the channels with the shows I watch, and they keep changing **** up on me. I didn't sign up for this.

Ooohh but you did. Read your agreement again..
Greedy ******** all around.
Although from what I can tell Viacom is just trying to get Directv to pay what all the other companies are paying them and trying to get a raise on the contract that was signed 7 years ago. They are asking for an amount that is 20% of the fee increase that Directv has charged its customers.
If you do have Directv definitely call them and complain/threaten to quit so you can get money off your bill, some free premium channels for 6 months and other stuff.

Easily knocked out about 20% of the channels I have my guide set to. Biggest loss? This guy:
How am I supposed to fall asleep without my nightly Doug episodes?
I did get some money cuts and some free movie channels though in my faux fit of rage at DirectTV service people.

Yes. Now let us have some anti-trust laws to enforce this awesome competition.

this is why I have DirecTV - they are the only providers that you can haggle with. If you tell them you're unhappy they'll cut you a deal.

You can also haggle with Comcast. I've done for over 3 years, just act like you are really going to cancel. They have no contract deals ;D
As long as I can watch the Jazz, I don't plan to haggle with Dish Network. That's the only reason I pay for TV.

Agreed. Who cares about all the other crap.
I just watch the rest of the shows I like on Netflix for cheap.

I only got 10 dollars off my bill. I need to call back and gets mines!
I did that with comcast for years and then I got sick of all the promo's and other stuff expiring every month. I was literally calling in a threatening to quit every month, it got old fast. Ill go back to bouncing between companies every couple years for the best deal.

I'm thinking of going anti pay tv. I can get league pass on Xbox now and between Hulu and Netflix I can get most shows i watch. I think cable and satelite could become a thing of the past.
If/when they do, it will be imperative that I finally upgrade from the slowest DSL speed.
