I want my MTV!

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.





Tyler!

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.

Nothing wrong with Direct TV, I was on it for about 4 years.

Quote:
Your CBS and MTV Networks Are Back! Message from Charlie Ergen, CEO of DISH Network

Dear Loyal DISH Network Customers,

I am very pleased to announce that we’ve successfully reached a long-term agreement with Viacom to provide you with CBS and MTV Network channels including MTV, Comedy Central, and Nickelodeon. I am happy to say that this agreement will allow us to continue to provide you the lowest all-digital price everyday.

I understand that it has been a difficult 36 hours to be without these popular channels. We appreciate your patience, your support for DISH Network and your continued business.

As promised, you will receive a $1 credit on your next billing statement. In addition, we would like to thank you for all of your support by sending you a free DISH On Demand Pay-Per-View coupon that will allow you to view upcoming hits like “Cat in the Hat” and “School of Rock.” The coupon will arrive in your April billing statement. Enjoy a movie on us.

Everyone at DISH Network will continue to fight to provide the best possible programming and services at the lowest possible price, every day.

Thank you for your loyalty and thank you for being a DISH Network customer.


Charlie Ergen
CEO
DISH Network





Tyler!
