Any of you that have Dish Network know what Im talkin about. Seems that Viacom the people behind Comedy Channel, MTV, Nickelodeon, VH1 and a few other channels wants a 40% increase in their charges due to the expiring of a contract between them and Dish Network.


So as of today we the customers of Dish Network can no longer get any of the Viacom channels.

This is only a problem with Dish Network. Ive been using it for over 8 years now and this is the first time there was ever a real problem.

Now it seems I may at least look into the Direct TV side of it.
