I have been a loyal customer for a long time and now you are taking away the big ten net work, I don't care if you say you can't make a deal with them, find a way to do it . We Dtv customers pay way to much for what we get in the first place and now we are going to get less. Shame on you, you corporate theives!!!

Just cancelled DirectTV

After being a loyal customer for more than ten years, I just cancelled and I am never going back.  If they had not eliminated the Viacom channels, I would have never gone looking for The Daily Show and The Colbert Report online.  Now that I've discovered I can view it online for only $8 a month at Hulu or free elsewhere - I realized I am wasting my money on DirectTv!  THANK YOU DirectTv for giving me this wonderful opportunity to go elsewhere for content and to discover what a savings I can get my content at.  And your early cancellation fee of $180, this after you have profited nicely off of my business for the last ten years?  You should be paying ME $180 for downgrading programming options without so much as a letter in the mail to inform me I was about to lose channels.

Pay Viacom!

Nick, Mtv and VH1.  These are not just some mediocre channels that a few people may watch.  These are MAJOR channels.  They go than I go!

CEO of Direct TV, you are lame.  You are willing to make your customers pay the price because you want to protect your hefty paycheck.  I would have been on your side if the issue was anything but you keeping our dollars in your pocket.
