Kevin Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Need some help here. I'm at work and my wife tells me that DirecTV is canceling fox, speed and the history channel. Have y'all heard about this?
Captain Caveman Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 not cancelling fox. they may not have other fox channels (e.g. fx, fox sports, not sure about speed) until they come to an agreement. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/27/idUS77915695820111027
cantankerous Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 If they cancel "fx" i'm going to cancel my service. What a bunch of BS.
Lv-Bills Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 This can actually be good news for those of you (us) that have the NHL package. The Florida Panthers network is currently one of the stations that will be cancelled. They were running the crawl saying so across their game tonight. Even though I'm not a Panthers fan, by any means, I will be calling and acting like I am so that I can be fully credited my NHL package. Yeah Yeah, cheap I know, but I don't feel sorry for DTV as they try to nickel and dime you for everything. I so wish for the day where FIOS would have the Sunday NFL Ticket. Oh well.
Alaska Darin Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Fox is asking them for a 40% price increase. That's pretty much ridiculous.
/dev/null Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I'm not too happy about this. I'm a big fan of Sons of Anarchy and have been trying to give American Horror Story a chance
Dante Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) I like watching Fox Soccer in HD as well. Some info here Edited October 28, 2011 by Dante
DC Tom Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Fox is asking them for a 40% price increase. That's pretty much ridiculous. Yeah, I have kind-of a hard time vilifying DirecTV for Fox demanding an extortionate rate increase then appealing to the masses when they don't get it. I fully expect FoxSnooze to wrap themselves in the First Amendment over getting pulled..."DirecTV is restricting our right to free speech!"

DirecTV and Fox have reached an agreement with no interruption of service. Crisis averted. See y'all at the next Apocalypse.
Fezmid Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 and have been trying to give American Horror Story a chance Trying to give it a chance? You're not a fan? I really like it (haven't seen the two part Halloween episode yet).

ajzepp Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 I am celebrating the news by having DTV installed as we speak...WOOOHOOO!!!!
GOBILLS78 Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 DirecTV and Fox have reached an agreement with no interruption of service. Crisis averted. See y'all at the next Apocalypse. What a surprise.
/dev/null Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Trying to give it a chance? You're not a fan? I really like it (haven't seen the two part Halloween episode yet). AHS has enough to keep me interested in tuning in the next week but not yet enough to make it a staple of my DVR
plenzmd1 Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Glad they kept Nat Geo without interuption. Show on there called Rocket City Rednecks(based in Huntstville) where these PHD guys make all kind of crazy stuff from the farms and junkyards around Huntsville, all the while drinking beers and having a good time. It is very similiar to Mythbusters, but I like these guys better. I watch with my son and he loves the science aspect of it..i just think they are funny dudes http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/rocket-city-rednecks/
Fezmid Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 I am celebrating the news by having DTV installed as we speak...WOOOHOOO!!!! Today? I thought it was Friday?
ajzepp Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Today? I thought it was Friday? Got it done this afternoon...then the new PJ will be here Saturday I'll report back on football in 3D this weekend
WVUFootball29 Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Yeah, I have kind-of a hard time vilifying DirecTV for Fox demanding an extortionate rate increase then appealing to the masses when they don't get it. I fully expect FoxSnooze to wrap themselves in the First Amendment over getting pulled..."DirecTV is restricting our right to free speech!" Why? No one had a hard time vilifying Time Warner Cable when Lin TV pulled the same crap with their CBS affiliates during the NFL season.
