|  Customers need to call in droves
In the news reports, Echostar/Dish is urging customers to call CBS/Viacom and complain. Viacom is urging viewers to call Dish and complain.
I think that all Dish customers should call Dish and CBS and complain loudly to both.
If I were a Dish customer, that is exactly what I would do, and I would tell both that they need to work their differences out to the benefit of the customers.
Then I would give Dish until the end of the current month, or I would cancel my subscription fee, and dare then to try to charge me a cancellation fee.
I would base that dare on the removal of channels which were part of my decision making process when I decided which satellite service to subscribe to. Had some of those channels not been available at the time or subscription, then I would not have taken that service.
It might not work out in the end, but I would try it anyway.

How ?? "to the benefit of the customers" would simply be more channels for either the same or less money... I'm willing to bet Dish would go for that... Will Viacom though ?? |

You wouldn't be able to call them even if you wanted to. All telephone circuits to the phone numbers 1-212-258-8000 and 1-212-258-6000 are busy. Guess they are really getting slammed now. YAY!

i totally agree I don't care for the channels that were lost and make no significant view changes in my household. i just hope that when it is settled that we don't pay more or even get more of the same Ilk-styled channels... |
