I just hope that Dish is just as supportive of it's customers when Dish is squeezing the end users by bundling it's programming.
It's good to see that a company is willing to draw a line. Isn't that why the Direct TV/Dish deal was nixed by congress? We can't have just one monopoly.
I've heard many people say that DirecTV has a slightly sharper picture on most channels than Dish. You could always change - they are having a big promotion at the moment.

My wife just called with the same symptoms. My daughter will have to make do with the Disney offerings until Nick and Noggin come back.
Ultimately, Dish is trying to save us all money. And Viacom is certainly acting in a predatory manner, holding contracts for local service hostage to demands that Dish carry additional Viacom channels.
