Any DishNetworks Subscribers
I just noticed that they have pulled ALL of Viacom's stations off the bird. No more CBS... MTV... Nickelodeon... Comedy Central.

Guess it's time to go back to regular cable.

Viacom wants more $$ from the providers. A cable system in our area is also having a dispute with Viacom and ABC over carriage.
Edit: I also noticed they had that domain for almost 2 months...so Viacom saw it coming.Last edited by KimmiKat; 03-09-2004 at 02:27 PM.

Who really needs MTV anyway? That alone would be enough for me to actually go with Dish Network. That way no one in my house could actually watch the trash they try to pass off as television programming on my TV's.
However, the whole March Madness basketball thing kind of complicates the issue.

I don't know why they still call it MTV...there's no music on it anymore and they're starting to put many more non-music stuff on CMT too.

Even M2, which was supposed to be nothing but music, they are starting to put their lousy programming on.
Between the commercials and lousy shows, I was forced to grow out of MTV 10 or 12 years ago.www.square-network.com www.squarenetwork.com

Though we do have muchmusic here as well as a very nice line of music-only channels via the digital cable co. Works very nicely for parties, particularly if you have a good system attached to said digital box.
Off to turn on MTV to see what I've been 'missing'.Ion Web Services/TronicTech

The satellte also has a good line of music-only channels too. DirecTVs are better as many Dishnetwork ones are mono for some strange reason.

I actually have both DTV (digital) which goes though my telco lines, and dish
the only reason we have dish is for the PVR, until our local phone company gets PVR, we will have both

This totally sucks!! I have dish network and been satisfied with the service for the last 2-3 months I had it, I watch some of these channels and I'm not happy they're taking them out!

Viacom/CBS only wanted $0.03 more per customer. Dish Network refused, while at the same time they had rased rates by over $3 per customer.
So who's the greedy one?

The guy that runs the gaming center where I have my office is a Dish Dealer as well. He was telling me about this.
Dishnetwork didn't drop the channels, Viacom took the channels away from them. And it is more than the $0.03 per customer that that website is claiming.
Personally, I could care less, I don't watch those channels. Viacom is asking for more money so they can pay off the fine that Janet & Justin caused them to get.

CNN and SpikeTV are all I need to survive
Wouldn't eliminating all viacom channels put DISH at a serious disadvantage?--

The increase is something like $2 is what the CEO said on his telechat... - per subsciber or per Viacom channel I dunno??? Well - they offered me $2 back - which is ridiculous considering what I pay and then removing 14 channels, been a customer for years - will give them a few weeks to get this straightened out... after that we'll see

I was watching Navy NCIS on one CBS and the others were out, so oh well, it was still on for me, not sure why.

You may not be in one of the Viacom owned CBS markets, most likely a smaller company owns it and has not proposed a rate increase, as was the case for like 87% of the Dish Network customers in regards to the CBS programming, you will still be affected by the outage on the other Viacom owned channels.

I get $100+ channels plus the HBO and Skinimax chanels for less then basic cable costs in my area. I'll stick with Dish for awhile. My kids miss Nick and I miss Commedy Central but oh well.
