    ITT Viacom being greedy pieces of shit.

    Viacom took down all their channels from Directtv after wanting 1 billion dollars(30% increase on your directtv bill).

    I have Insight and I still had Viacom channels (well Comedy Central) as of 2:30am CST this morning. Was it taken off sometime after that? I'm not seeing any articles googling it either, just the Direct TV deal.

    It's time to have the "corporate greed" and "nothing is good enough for share holders" talk.

    Didnt something like this go down with Time Warner a few years back? I kind of remember there being an advertisement when I was back up in NY where Time Warner was talking about some channels trying to get paid more or threatening to cancel.

    Dish loses AMC and some other things? Direct TV users lose just about everything, sucks for both of them.

    I think Time Warner's dispute was with NBC in 2008 or so. I remember being annoyed that we had to download episodes of Heroes instead of just DVRing them..

    We also now have access to HBOGo if you weren't aware. I saw it last night in my daily check to see if we were added.
