One other thing to add that I learned about requesting channels from DISH, is that no matter how many times you call, email, tweet, message etc Dish to add a channel, your request for that channel goes in the system ONCE.

I have said this atleast 5 times in the last year.One other thing to add that I learned about requesting channels from DISH, is that no matter how many times you call, email, tweet, message etc Dish to add a channel, your request for that channel goes in the system ONCE.
While both are under Sumner Redstone's National Amusements parent company, CBS and Viacom are two separate companies (subsidiaries) with their own CEO's and separate channels and properties under them and don't have cross over agreements. CBS and Viacom negotiate separately for their respective channels and properties. So there hasn't been CBS[slash]Viacom for quite some time. As one example, Showtime was moved from Viacom to be under the CBS corp. Les Moonves RULES CBS and its holdings, but has no authority over Viacom's MTV, Comedy Central, etc. So, it is either a CBS OR Viacom.
ROH only has one more show on DA and then it moves to COMET TV on Dec. 2nd. Comet TV is a new OTA subchannel owned by MGM/Sinclair Broadcast Grp that is geared towards SciFi.
DishSubLA I didn't realize that but I am pretty sure most of the cable channels fall under the viacom umbrella.

That implies they're keeping a database of people's names against all the possible channel requests we could make. One wonders why they bother.
I think they bother because some individuals who incessantly ask for channels will ask over a thousand times and skew the results. You know who you are.....
Wasn't Pop (SD feed) part of the CBS deal last year? (Then again, so was Smithsonian, and that one is just now getting ready to be launched.)
