Interesting. Yeah, I'd get Direct TV but I they don't give me my actual local channels, so i wouldn't get the sports shows I want to watch.Originally Posted by shrxhky420

Well the thing is, where i'm at in Wisconsin is close to the Minnesota border, so they assume I want the stations out of Minneapolis/St. Paul. But no, I want the Wisconsin channels dammit! I have to be able to watch the Packers in the fall (and sure I could get NFL Sunday ticket I suppose, but that shit is kind expensive after the first year. And I shouldn't have to have that to watch the team from the state I live in).

not in the usa where up is down.... corps are people and the government is run by lobbyists
I called and got $20 off a month for 1 year and a couple of extra channels.
It does little to soothe my soul over the loss of Spongebob but at least it's something.
C'est la vie.
You can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think.
if you have netflix you can get your spongebob fill there... stay high
Good idea.
I was gonna get my fix on Nickelodeon's website but Viacom has clamped down on the full episode list. There are only 1-2 minute clips up now.

Is this a permanent thing? I don't watch much TV, but comedy central was one of the only channels I did watch...
I heard it was only supposed to be for like 2 weeks or so.... but I haven't talked to anybody that really knows.
not supposed to be permanant... could be a few days could be a few weeks/months nobody really knows... stay high
So Viacom wants to soak DirectTV subscribers for a Billion dollars. And as a means of getting leverage, Viacom has cut you off from Nick, Jr.so i have directv ...yesterday @ 11:50 viacom pulled 26 channels.
...mostly bs...but nick jr is my baby girls favorite...so ...i read that they want 30% more for the same channels....fucking greedy bastards...taking channels away from toddlers is harsh...
so i called DTV and they did kick down the goodies...but meh...just singed the 2 year contract so im stuck...
they gave me $120 credit and upgraded me to their top tier for free... i feel like Viacom need to eat a wiener...
if you have directv ...call them and say "cancel" then say "cancel" again...then say no,your not moving...wait on hold...
act like the person is your friend...be like..."oh wow you must be having an awful day"...blahblah ...they will kick down something....
ask for $10 off a month for a year
ask for nfl sunday ticket
ask for other channels you want...
DirectTV won't absorb the increase, they can't. But they are trying to protect you from it.
And your answer is to punish DirectTV by demanding goodies or you will unsubscribe. Then to encourage other subscribers to do the same.
Do you not realize you are essentially demanding that DirectTV accept Viacom's ultimatum, thus raising your rates by 30%?
You and everyone else who calls DirectTV to complain are doing Viacom's bidding.
Well played.
