Why is dtv dropping fx

Unless a carriage agreement is signed between the two parties, such disputes linger on and on. Who suffers in between? The consumers who just want to watch local TV through DirecTV and have to wait on channel restoration, while paying for their package in full.

Sure Fox has to be trying to force them to pay a bunch for these channels but DTV hasn't been hurting financially. They continue to post profits and their monthly revenue per user keeps going up. What are the odds that DTV will drop these Fox channels? Who says you can't put 61" plasmas up on cantilever mounts using toggle bolts?

Back in the end of '09 they dropped Versus and picked it back up 6 months later. They dropped G4 in '10 and there were rumors of it coming back this year but nope.

It causes DirecTV's customer base to start ringing the phones. It's a complete DB, gangster, thug, good ol' fashioned blackmailing. They'll come to an agreement. I can't wait to see Murdoch in hell, I'm gonna punch him in the throat.

He's just a DB. On October 24, at , Hasbeen said Can't wait until i can purchase subscriptions for just the channels i watch. To be honest DirecTV could probably drop all but 10 channels and it wouldn't make a difference.
