I am just kind of ranting and didn't really know where to do it. I have come to a point where I am sick of these stupid "extra" channels such as FXX, fox sports 1, ect... I first got upset when they came out with the stupid channel The big ten network, I felt it was such a rip off and waste of space. I have to have this stupid channel to watch one Buckeye game a year on it, screw them. People don't need FXX, so the one stupid ass show I watch on FX is called "Legit", well, now I can't watch it because they moved it to FXX, what the HELL is FXX. It is so stupid, and I am not going to be a slave to their crap anymore. I don't care if I miss a game or miss a certain series, I am not falling for this unnecessary waste of time and space. ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU/ESPN KISS MY BUTT!!!!!!!!! I know I sound nutty, but I am done with this crap and I don't care if they put the Ohio State vs. Michigan game on "the big ten rip off network" I will not care and will not be a part of this lunacy.
Tired of these new channels

There are new channels? Those channels you mentioned, have been around for going on over a year now. As for BTN, it has been around for over five years running.
As for who decides if a sporting event will be broadcast in a market, leave that up to the Black Out rules, that created that problem. Then again, there are ways around the black out, so you can watch the game online.

FXX and FS1 are just renamed channels
FS1 use to be Speed
FXX use to be Fox Soccer (IIRC)
oh and FS2 use to be Fuel

Don't post this in the other forum. There's a few who scream for the Lamp Shade channel in HD, if it existed.
Well, if you throw ABC in there as well, seeing it owns the ESPN channels, you can skip the Buckeyes games all together, seeing they are on ESPN, ABC and 2 on the BTN yearly.
Has not changed that much in the past couple of years. Yes the Encoders are getting better, but channels available, have not changed much year to year.
I am angry and not well informed, I guess that is why it is called ranting
If you were more informed, you wouldn't be angry, you'd KNOW ....
Why do people assume that because they find a channel to be useless and junk, that everyone feels the same way about that channel?
The only channel I am really waiting for DirecTV to add is The Blaze. I have almost considered leaving for Dish for that channel alone...
This is EXACTLY the point. There was NO NEED to create FXX, it just took some of the shows from FX and has a ton of reruns. Why can't those shows stay on FX and not need to have this new pointless channel created? Now we have to pay for 2 channels where there used to be 1. See also: Every channel that has sister networks.
Well, for Fox the decision was simple. Either shut down Fox Soccer and make less money or convert it to another channel and make more money. If you were in their position, you probably would have made the same choice.
They did that, because they own the station and still hold the license to use that channel. Why not move other things to FXX, instead of filling up FX with them.
I am sure that if you contacted FX notworks, they would be sure to listen to you for the next change.
directv has said on their facebook page they have "no plan to add the blaze anytime soon"
