Ya know what bud? I totally agree! Corporations suck and I'm the one who has bitched the longest and loudest about it. I'm paying $110 a month for about 12 channels. I started keeping track in 1984 when cable companies first started the tier bullsh1t with MTV and Discovery and they knew that's what everyone wanted. So they stuck it in the top tier to charge everyone the most money. My fight started about 1970, how long have you been on Earth? What I learned in that time is that no one cares or they are too chicken to say anything (we were taught not to draw attention).
My wife can tell you about a dozen times a week that I complain that Americans are idiots for the ridiculous prices they pay for stupid sh1t, and I'm coming from 43 years in manufacturing and watching doofs pay triple for the exact same thing everyone else gets, except it has an extra button on it (so they think they are getting something special... they are not). We used to laugh our at asses off at complaints.
You're preaching to the choir my freind.
I signed up for Dish 1 month ago. It sucks. First the Turner channels are gone, yes CNN is bad but I watched it, but even worse is what happened to my regional sports network.
I bought the regional sports network almost solely to watch the Timberwolves (insert joke here). On opening day I checked the listings and it said the Wolves game would be on my RSN (fsn). I sat down to watch it, turned on the TV and blank, nada. As it turns out fsn and Dish are in a contract dispute (surprise!). Half of the Timberwolves games are not even being aired including the season opener, home opener and premium games. Very frustrating. So I cancelled my RSN. Bad business model. Regret switching from Directv to Dish.

Exactly where I'm at. I watch(ed) TCM more than any other single channel, Turner or otherwise, and now fortunately I have my EHD's to fall back on. And some of the movies I recorded from TCM are ones I haven't seen yet.
This is also the main channel I watch and DVR of those lost to this conflict..... I would have scheduled 6 movies planned this week alone (running premiere's of Silent Movies this month)
Very disappointed , I do have FXM (SD) and GeTv, RTV, Retro to fall back on. I also have a ton's of movies DVR'd to fall back upon. I will survive
. After all the recent disputes ....AMC etc., this is the first dispute that affected me. In fact of all the Turner channels, TCM would be the only one in my top 5 viewed channels .I do hope this gets resolved sssoooooooonnnn !!

Well, if one enjoys programs offered by a certain channel, it would stand to reason that they need said channel to watch said program.
Not the way I stated it.
You 'want' to watch the program. To actually watch it, you 'need' the channel.
D* better start buying up refurbished Rokus!

Charlie has a pretty good point there. CNN is not what is use to be and to ask more for a lesser product is a shame.
