You got a kid and lost Nick, just get Netflix Watch Instant. They have a fuckton of the Nick shows on streaming.

7/11/2012 10:45:47 AM

^^ And DirecTV hasn't pulled anything; it's on Viacom.

7/11/2012 10:55:58 AM

We have that, but they don't carry his favorite 2 shows (which we like the best also, since they actually teach school-like lessons) Bubble Guppies and Team Umizoomi.

Glad we DVR'd a bunch as a back up, but still sucks.

7/11/2012 12:07:43 PM

They better iron this shit out, all I watch is either comedy central or investigation discovery. If I ever lose investigation discovery I will be lost

7/11/2012 1:32:53 PM

If I don't get my Workaholics I am going to be butthurt.

7/11/2012 1:39:02 PM

All the stay at home mom's are having a bitchfest on DirecTV's facebook page b/c they actually have to spend some time with their kids today and can't just plop them down in front of the TV all day. And demanding a free year of DirecTV? Are you fucking kidding me?

"To thank you for your patience until Viacom channels are returned, all eight Encore Channels (including Encore Family) will be made available to all customers thru July 31st. Tune to Channels 535 to 542 to start watching. Remember that Viacom forced us to remove Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central and 14 other networks or face legal action. We expect the channels to return soon and are doing everything we can to get them back on air without an unfair increase to your bill. "

In case anybody wants to watch some movies on Encore

I have cable and this is still affecting me. I have a sub-company under DirecTV called DirecPath which is my cable/internet provider. And according to DirecTV, they've never heard of it, but when you have an outage or something like this, it shows the DirecTV logo and says "Searching for satellite signal.....".

"WolfpckGrl17 Directpath sucks. I hate my apt complex because of them"

Yeah, it is the WORST cable provider I've ever seen in my life!! Customer service sucks (and you NEVER get a person who speaks well English) and NO ONE has ever heard of them. Ugh!!!


Give me my channels back!!!

Does your internet sometimes make your computer freeze up and you have to randomly restart it?? That shit gets old.

From DirecTV's facebook page

Quote :

" DirecTV Share this: Viacom is now taking away online programming from everyone. Less than 12 hours after disconnecting DIRECTV’s television viewers, Viacom is at it again by blocking all Americans who want to see their shows on the Internet. DIRECTV developed an "Other Ways To Watch" section on its DIRECTVPromise.com site to help fans find Viacom’s shows online. Unfortunately, Viacom shut off access for all users at approx 3 pm EDT. Immediately after, Viacom began a systematic network-by-network black out of most of its sites’ online streaming. Viacom is now not only holding DIRECTV customers hostage, but all online viewers as well. Is this just another underhanded negotiating tactic, or does this mean that Viacom will no longer offer its content free online? #DIRECTVHasMyBack"

7/11/2012 7:22:15 PM

Duke Energy is going to buy them both up but the good news is that we can all have access to NFL sunday ticket

7/11/2012 7:28:30 PM

blocking a bunch of people who ARE paying for your shit elsewhere just to piss off one specific company with whom you have a disagreement is a good way to piss off more people than you meant to

I don't have this problem. I sometimes get speeds so slow I can't watch a youtube video without waiting 15 mins

7/12/2012 8:06:12 AM

lol, I just watched Tosh.0 from Tuesday night. The three battling banners at the bottom of the screen were both annoying and hilarious at the same time.

Top: Comedy Central
Middle: Viacom
Bottom: DirectV

Actually this in this situation I could see a moral justification, and may be forced to resort to it.

Yeah same here! That used to irritate me so much when I was watching all those GoPack.com All-Access videos from the NCAA tournament back in March. It'd be like a 15 sec pause every couple of seconds. Youtube does the same sometimes.

7/14/2012 7:02:33 PM

i mean, really. they are fighting a PR battle with another company and just pissed off millions of people who weren't even remotely related to the situation

7/14/2012 7:50:50 PM

Switching from cable to satellite was the worst decision I have ever made. Stupid 2yr contracts.
