There is no cable in our neighborhood but we could get them to install the cable in our neighborhood.
Viacom channels are only 5% of DirecTV's $10 billion dollars ($500 million dollars) and represent to 20% viewers. Asking for 2 cents increase per day, per subscriber isn't expensive - 60 cents per month or $7.20 per year. Directv stated about $1 billion dollars contract is actually 10 years and they don't mention about years because they are trying to make price to scare the customers.
Now, I missed some of my favorite shows on Spike and online streaming are not closed caption.
