Dish will undoubtfully have the Viacom channels, what remains to be seen is just how long we will be without them. Personally I don't care for those channels at all, but I understand they're popular. In the end what we will end up with is a better contract and lower prices. I'm all for that.
Too late. He lost me before I even activated service. This whole thing is definetly not a good PR thing for Echostar. Why do we never hear about directv's dealings with providers? Because its bad business to cause a fuss like e* is.
The last thing I want to do is worry whether or not I'll have a channel I've paid for. Ironically I received a telemarketing call drom e* today. Before the CSR could even begin his pitch I told him, "sorry I'm not intersested, take me off your list," and hung up.
