    They are still assholes for their Strong Arm tactics. Don't bitch when anyone's rates go up...not your provider's fault.

    It's not CBS proper, it's the conglomerates that own the affiliates. In this case, Raycom Media.

    It will be solved before the NFL season, you can count on that.

    Had not heard. ALl weekend all I heard was people bitching about it. Don't have dish, and probably haven't watched CBS since, well, whenever the last big sports event they may have hosted.....NFL playoffs maybe?

    March Madness, or the Masters and PGA Championship if you like golf. But I'm guessing the wife doesn't allow it.

    Yeah, I just remembered march madness. Golf? Nah.

    I did it with Directv a few years ago when they dropped Versus and I wouldn't be able to watch hockey. I threatened to leave for Dish and they hooked me up with free Center Ice package.
    I should try this with DirecTV since they don't have Fix Sports 1 yet. Maybe I will get free NFL Sunday Ticket.

    Im pretty sure Fox Sports 1 will take the place of the current Fox Sports Soccer channel when it launches...thats the case on Dish anyway

    I stand corrected..http://www.deadline.com/2013/08/fox-sports-1-still-waiting-deals-directv-dish-etwork-and-time-warner-cable/

    You're not getting anything until FS1 reaches a deal with a large provider. Directv will just tell you to GFY. FS1 is destined to fail if they can't reach a deal with at least 2 of these providers.

    It's worth a shot if you don't mind waiting on hold for a long time only to be told they aren't going to do anything for you.

    It's not like you're losing a channel you had before if DirecTV doesn't pick it up (an instance where they might be willing to throw something your way). You're just not getting a newly created channel.
