Do you have directv? Are you keeping their service since they dropped their channels? I'm pissed we watched the channels that are dropped a lot, they don't know when or if they will be back and they are not crediting us for the 26 channels! I'm considering switching to dish.

when they dropped AMC we changed out plan to a lower level and let them know it was BC they let AMC go. of course they try to lay all the blame on AMC - but its directTV getting less money. we have a 2 year agreement - so we aren't going to drop them completely, but we did as much talking as we could with our wallet.

It is my understanding that they are still in negotiations, they are just temporarily off until an agreement is reached.

I'd probably wait a little bit and see if things work out while I was researching other companies to see who offered the best for cheaper.

I would be okay if they would prorate the bill for us! The lady I talked to was a bitch though... all the statements released from Viacom said they didn't want that much of an increase but I dunno... I think they're gonna lose a lot of people

Did you watch the little message that the Directv CEO did?  All of those channels that were dropped are Viacom channels.  Viacom PULLED their channels because they want Directv to up your rates so they can make more money.  Apparently they are still in negotiations with Directv over the whole thing, but decided to go ahead and pull their channels in the mean time.

I'm so glad I don't have them! My parents are going to be PISSED when they find out they don't have AMC anymore. That means no Walking Dead for them this season.
