    DirectTV will not be showing CBS anymore after March 1st!

    penetrate that shit!! I have been the biggest fan of directtv over the past year. It was great having NFL SUNDAY TICKET for free.


    But losing CBS would be the last straw. I called them earlier tonight and cancelled all of my movie channels. Of course I get transferred to about 3 other operators all of them offering me different things to not cancel all of the movie channels. Well finally they told me that they would be me 3 months free of all premium channels if I stay.

    I said fine, but said that I even lose 1 DAY of CBS shows that I would cancel everything. I actually told them that I wanted MLBTV for free if I lose CBS for even 1 day and they said that they would give me that IF they do lose CBS. Of course it is extremely doubtful that they will lose CBS, the companies always negociate late deals.


    But you might as well call right now and get all of your premium channels for free for the next 90 days or so

    You do realize if they caved in and just gave all these stations what they wanted your bill would be two to three times higher. I'm glad they tell these places to fuk themselves. CBS needs directv more than directv needs CBS.

    It means plug in that old Antenna when you want to watch certain games playing only on CBS. Every March Madness game is on 4 different Channels now. TBS, TNT, TRU, and CBS all will be covering the early rounds of the NCAA tournament.

    Yes but Sweet 16 on is pretty much all CBS I believe.
