They done it, they dropped Fox News. Said they are negotiating and they are getting tons of calls from disgruntled customers. When they dropped Turner Networks it lasted 3 weeks.

I will wait 3 weeks and if they ain't got Fox News back? Hello DirecTV for me.

I've had DirecTV in the past and there is a reason I went to Dish Network. When I know more than the Tech people I am speaking with?

I love Direct but I refuse to get into a tv service carousel. Every provider out there drops someone at some point because of contract negotiation problems. It's now the norm in the industry.

You've got the right idea John, hit 'em in the pocketbook, where it hurts!

I wish they had a more ala carte menu for all of cable. Including news channels. All of them. I hate paying almost 100.00 a month. But DH & DS love their sports. Me, I'd go back to broadcast for free only channels off the antenna mounted in our attic. And then get my news via the Internet.

I would do the same...not sure I would wait 3 weeks though.

Too bad I cannot gift you our Fox News. No one watches it here.

John call them and ask for a discount, I did with the Turner thing and got a 3 month partial discount.
