Thumbs down No more FX, Speed or FuelTV?!

DIRECTV & Fox Dispute | See DIRECTV

Channels that DirecTV may lose as of Nov 1st. ;

"The channels involved are FX, National Geographic Channel, Speed Channel, Fox Soccer Channel, Fox Soccer Plus, Fox Movie Channel, Fox Deportes and FuelTV. Some of you may also lose the 13 Fox Sports regional networks that televise some college football and NHL hockey into your home communities. Your local FOX broadcast station and Fox News Channel are not involved."

It would suck to lose FX and Speed Channel there are a lot of good shows including Sons of Anarchy which a lot of people on here watch.

Calling DirecTV tonight to sort this out. Will most likely be cancelling and either going without (unlikely) or going with Crapcast (more likely). The reason I went with DirecTV in 2001 was because they were the only Speed Channel provider at the time. Now that they're about to lose it, they're more than likely going to lose me

Other than this and the exorbitant price, I still really really like DirecTV.

That's what I'm worried about. The review I've read have said that the picture isn't quite as crisp/clear, especially with the HD feeds. How's Comcast compare? Anyone?

My internet is great. I play xbox live while downloading torrents and still surf other sites when I get killed by some camping n00bs. All while my parents are online as well.
