Quote: Viacom Dispute DISH Network sincerely regrets that all MTV, BET, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and VH1 programming is currently unavailable. Viacom owned CBS stations are also unavailable at this time. These channels and CBS stations, owned by Viacom, have proposed excessive rate increases which we feel are unreasonable. Viacom is demanding rate increases nearly 4 times the rate of inflation for various cable channels, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars in fees that would increase the cost of our services to you.

DISH Network continually strives to control costs on behalf of our customers and we are working hard to get this matter resolved quickly.

Same here. My wife actually wanted to switch our DirecTV to DISH last month. I'm glad I talked her out of it.

Nothing on those channels is important enough for me to get pissed off about. Besides, I still have, what, 200 channels left? Plus the internet. If this drags on for months, I'll be annoyed, but if it's resolved quickly (?), it's no skin off my back.
