What I would write to Patrick is something as follows:

"Patrick,
I am (now was) an avid viewer of RFD-TV, which bills itself as America's Most Important Rural Network. I am a rural dweller and no longer can watch your channel as you have removed it off of the C-Band satellite system which I have come to rely on. While you might not know it there are thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of us out here watching via satellite! In addition the hobby of watching "Free to Air" satellite is growing like crazy now that many folks are cutting the cable on their cable tv and satellite services. You can find thousands of people discussing this legal free to air technology and programming available on sites like SatelliteGuys.US.
You currently have your RuralTV service up in the clear on C Band. Would you please consider adding RFD-TV back to that mux? Please don't forget us REAL Rural folks out here!
Sincerely,
Your name here."
