Directv vs Viacom

**Playboy Stevie V** · 07-12-2012, 12:06 PM

So unfortunately I have Directv and since they are in a b*tch fight with Viacom, Viacom pulled Spike TV. So of course after a monumental exciting Destination X, I can't watch Impact tonight *arms folded frown*

So can anyone help us, with Directv, out and tell us if there is a place we can live stream Impact?

Dude, I've got DirectTv too! Sucks big time but I've paid the same amount on my bill(except when I order PPV's) for ten years. Just gonna have to miss the next few Impacts. You can always watch bits & pieces on YouTube.

Well Viacom is now trying to take down its channels' shows off the internet so we'll see. From what I've gathered, it seems that Viacom is more at fault over this for demanding a 30% pay increase for all its shows. Doesn't help that on their show banners they say "We are only asking for just pennies a day" which is rather incriminating even though they try to sugarcoat it.

Well I have DirecTV too and it kinda sucks right now lol. I can't watch Comedy Central or Nick but hopefully I can still watch Impact somewhere online.

Just found a site (potentially) to watch Impact starting at 5pm pacific time. Don't wanna violate any rules by posting it here, but if you wanna inbox me I can try to hook you up.

Yeah, bummed I lost comedy central (Bye Tosh, bye Stewart, bye Colbert...) Won't miss any of the MTV channels and hopefully those fans will one day realize losing it was a blessing in disguise. Lord knows, I ain't paying 30% more for them...

Viacom wanted more money from DirecTV.

DirecTV said no, so they dropped all Viacom channels.

Viacom owns Spike. Thus resulting in Directv subscribers losing that channel.

Did I read something about also not been able to watch TV shows like Mad Men and stuff.

Again another clueless Brit.
