Wife is not going to be happy losing Spike. She loves Cops too much.
Glad I cancelled vue and went with a no contract comcast $69 intenet and tv package. $10 for the HD and free dvr and showtime. I was kind of confused by the deal, it was on their site as a 12 mos deal with no term agreement, I checked with a chat rep and called them and both said yeah there's no term agreement on that one you can cancel any time. You will lose the promo price in 12 mos, but hopefully I can get on another promo or I'll just switch to century link fiber and prism tv.
The main thing that sucks about comcast and century Link is having to deal with returning equipment and negotiating promo pricing.
Also Nick stuff as well probably.

I think that's only for new subscribers though right? I thought about that myself...but didn't want to use up my new subscriber benefits just yet!!
Comedy Central is the only thing of value from that list purely for South Park and nothing else. So if you can get South Park elsewhere, no problem.
What a trash heap Viacom is.
Yep, I'm cancelling. Fucking sucks. What the hell?
Why? None of those channels sound essential other than maybe Comedy Central.
Suddenlink dropped Viacom some time ago due to price hikes
Wait when is Hulu getting live TV?
I think people are confusing a list of all Viacom channels from Wikipedia with the channels Vue is actually losing... I have the middle tier of Vue and I'm pretty certain that they did not have at least half those channels on the list in the first place. They're not losing 25 channels like it looks like on that list.
That said it'll be a bummer to lose Comedy Central (Broad City, South Park, Workaholics) and Nick (late night episodes of Friends when nothing else is on). I have a Hulu sub though so I should be good on most Comedy Central stuff...
I just counted, they lost at least 21 channels that were on Vue. So that's pretty close to the 25, and maybe they got even closer if I miscounted.

Ummm excuse me? BET has the best lineup of channels of all time. ALL TIME!Why? None of those channels sound essential other than maybe Comedy Central.

Make that 22, I missed one.
That is a lot of channels. Lose 22, gain 3-5. That's not good for Vue. Hopefully something gets solved here.

thats alot of channels, will they be dropping the price of the elite package or just include HBO and showtime together with it?
This too.
They also haven't said if you'll be able to have a PS4 Pro and a PS4 utilizing VUE on the same network. I'm desperately hoping that's a yes because PS3 Vue performance is still abysmal.
