c-Band programing

[uh-oh]

We got DirectTV in May but kept the premium channels on C-Band via NPS. Today we got notice from Netlink that Starz & Encore will no longer be available after this year. (Also, HGTV is being dropped which doesn't effect us since we now have the little dish).
I sure hope this isn't true as C-band has many more Starz channels than little dish. Plus it is more expensive on little dish.
Has anyone heard if this is fact?
Thanks

Are they just being dropped by Netlink or are they leaving C band all togather?

YSP (netlink, tunervision, superstar HBO dirrect) will stop selling them, but NPS and SRL will keep selling them.

Digital only though. The analog signals are ending.
