NPS Shutting Down G3 Channels in April ADVERTS 1
This found on Satforums.
NPS regretfully announced today that the following channels will go off of C-Band on 04-06-10 : Atlanta ABC, NBC, CBS, Cartoon, WPIX, Spike, VH1, TruTV, TNT, CMT. Cust's who already have subscriptions to those channels will receive pro-rated credits to their NPS accts. which can then be used to purchase other programming from us. This development was caused by the increasing costs to uplink the G3 channels on 2 transponders no longer being economically feasible without further uplink fee increases which Mike and John decided to not do. This change will help to extend the longevity of the more critical channels like CNN, HLN, FoxNews, CNBC, MSNBC, USA, Lifetime, Hallmark, Comedy that will still be uplinked by us on G3 on one transponder.

So instead of giving refunds they are making you spend the money to stay with them?

It looks like that. Interesting questions being posted at satforums with no answers from NPS. Go figure

I called NPS right now and told them I want to talk to a supervisor. They wouldn't let me and tried pushing a dish package on me. I see allot of unhappy people there planning on screwing including me.
I'll wait for this to die down a bit then demand a supervisor another day.

NPS is a dead issue. We need to look forward to what SRL and Skyvision will do. If anything they won't make the same stupid mistakes NPS did. Originally Posted by Scott Greczkowski

Its too bad someone from TBS Broadcasting isn't reading this. Let me be very clear about this. Offer Ala carte channels directly to the end user and you may be surprised. I would have no problem paying 10 dollars a month for Cartoon Network to get it off a master feed. I am sure that more then you get now from any cable or satellite provider. I am sure others would agree me if the channel was Fox News. People WILL pay for quality.
