Okay, now I'm REALLY mad!

I'm a Dish Network customer, and I naively thought we'd escape the current channel blockage. However, I just learned that Pittsburgh is one of the markets in which CBS is being blocked. I really only watch CBS for one show, but that show is a favorite in our house - SURVIVOR!! This really angers me!

We won't cancel our subscription because with Dish Network we can get B4U (Bollywood movie channel), but this is annoying. I understand their reasoning, but I want my Survivor!

1. Rabbit ears.....good old fashioned rabbit ears.

Works like a charm. Not as good a picture usually, but they work.

4. Hey, you just reminded me

We do have a Coleman lantern/alarm/black&white TV combo in the garage. I can get that out and try to find the batteries for it and we can still watch! Thanks!

5. You hate Survivor?

I'd have never guessed that from your previous postings in every Survivor related thread.

6. Looks Like Dish Network And Viacom...

...are engaged in a pissing contest. I'm with DirecTV, and I keep seeing a crawl saying that many of the Viacom channels (such as MTV and Nickelodeon) may be disappearing off Dish Network.

Hope they get it straightened out soon.....

8. Not just "Survivor"

I forgot about "March Madness" coming up. ARRGGGGHHHH!

Oh well - I AM in law school, after all. Should I even be watching TV?
