AMC, WE and IFC were moved to the 9600s for a time and now I've noticed they're gone completely.
Whether or not they return at any point now is unknown but you have to wonder if many people today share in your sentiments especially in this economic state. It wouldn't surprise me in the end but FX didn't stay down for long a year ago.

Ala Carte services would end all of this. If people could choose their channels by only the ones they want, we would have lower bills and more control over what we watch. Channels that don't belong would disappear and channels that are in high demand could dictate their price.

I'd support this. I've got about 30 plus channels I have no use for. AMC is the same channel that also took the money they got from Walking Dead and instead put it someplace else instead of back into Walking Dead.

Oh no. A la carte pricing for channels reduces demand for individual channels, resulting in higher (not lower) prices per channel. Lower bills would not become the end result.

People can just go to the internet today anyway. Some days I can't stand watching TV so I go to the internet to watch whatever.

Au contraire mon frere, a la carte pricing would bring prices down, and reduce the amount of unnecessary channels. Since I have around 40-50 channels I never watch, I could drop them. I could still get my local channels free, pay for the 15 channels I watch and my bill would be 1/4 the price I pay now.

DirecTV-Viacom Dispute May Affect Access for 20 Million Customers

How the hell am I suppose to watch Spongebob now?!

Seriously you have to wonder at this point if DirecTV customers have had enough. There's people upset about them dropping G4. THIS is mass slaughter. SEVENTEEN channels is f-ed up.



Stubborn is as stubborn does.

We've got DirecTV, but don't really make much use of the Viacom channels.

Even my boys don't watch anything other than an occasional Nick show anymore.

What a mess.

If there is a blackout, it won't last very long. Viacom is one of the largest cable channel operators in the world. These disputes rarely last long or get to this point.

I have DirecTV as well and I would be pissed if I lost Comedy Central, as it's one of the few cable channels I still watch.
