Directv dispute with Viacom IS OVER!

[Neutron]

I second the mention of finding it online as an alternative. Several of the Nick Jr. programs are on Netflix.

Until Viacommies get their acts straight and restoring the channels we paid for on DirecTV! My world is still empty without Degrassi!

Waste of time, the only people who are going to see that page are those who are upset with Viacom. Both Viacom and DIRECTV won't look at it. Its best to put complaints in a public places where people actually read.

If this lasts till next year I wonder what this means for the DirecTV beach bowl. In it's 6 years of running it's presenting sponsor was Spike TV. And it has always been Spike vs Palladia in the football game.

Give us an example of where or what public place is better then Facebook. People post the link on their page, there is a list of Contact Numbers as well. What do you suggest?

I found this forum by looking at comparisons of DirectTV and Dish, after speaking with DTV this morning. I asked what type of credit I'd be receiving, as I'm losing so much programming that is relevant to my household. After reading her script to me, she finally offered me $5/mo. Hmmm... in my opinion, that would compensate me for the childish ads running non stop yesterday, but not for losing so much relevant programming.

I find both of them at fault. It's all business, but allowing it to go this far should mean that DTV and Viacom should be hiring some new negotiators.

I'll be switching.

Thanks for all the fantastic information on these forums. I was uncomfortable with switching (no one likes change) but now feel more confident with it.

What did you say to get 5 bucks a month. All they offered me was some additional Encore programming which is a special I think they were already running.

Places like the consumerist, Engadget, Gizmodo, Satelliteguys... etc where people who are not necessarly in the know will catch wind of whats going on and talk about it more.

The more eyes you can get to view your side of things the better.

Sometimes it bothers me about "politics is forbidden to talk on forums" is like censorship IMHO. But there's http://www.sonicbabble.com to talk about it. I understand.

But the only people who see your Facebook page are the people who want to join it. The rest of the 900 million people on Facebook wont even know your page exists. Again the only people who will see it are those who are pissed at Viacom.

You want eyeballs of people who don't necessarily know whats going on.

And the greedy get greedier....Viacom needs a good kick in the arse!
