With so many channels being removed maybe, just maybe this starts some kind of discussion on the future costs of programming and how the current set up may lead the consumer to one day say enough is enough?
By that do you mean a la carte/

Wow. Go on any Viacom owned website and this pop-up shows up playing an ad about the dispute. And you can't close it until the ad finishes. Very Annoying Viacom!
Go to Viacom Facebook page and they are getting creamed!! Love it!!!!!

Well, as the dropped channels include the ones my kids watch each morning (and it's summer) I'm pretty upset. I am not a big TV watcher, at the current time, there is only one show I watch religiously and that is on one of the dropped channels, plus it's a summer show, so I'm going to miss a new episode tomorrow night. I'm peeved, to say the least. My husband is the "TV addict" in our family, so he can always find something else to watch, so it really just affects me and the kids. As I'm the decision maker for these types of things in this family, this was a bad move on their part.
I found this forum by looking at comparisons of DirectTV and Dish, after speaking with DTV this morning. I asked what type of credit I'd be receiving, as I'm losing so much programming that is relevant to my household. After reading her script to me, she finally offered me $5/mo. Hmmm... in my opinion, that would compensate me for the childish ads running non stop yesterday, but not for losing so much relevant programming.
I find both of them at fault. It's all business, but allowing it to go this far should mean that DTV and Viacom should be hiring some new negotiators.
I'll be switching.
Thanks for all the fantastic information on these forums. I was uncomfortable with switching (no one likes change) but now feel more confident with it.
