Suprising I have not seen a thread on this yet. Anyone else a little ticked off that we lost so many channels, and good channels at that. I know they will fix the issue but they have blacked out the main channels I watch. Pisses me off. SPIKE is even gone.. Geez. If you go to the channels they are explaining what is going on and the day before they were to be blacked out I seen something I never have. During the normal programming at the bottom VIACOM was running text stating to call Directv so you dont loose all these stations. Then directly under their text Directv ran text stating their issue with Viacom and how they were asking for 1 Billion more dollars and that would be a 30% increase in peoples bill. Crazy when it was happening.
