DIRECTV Loss of Viacom Channels $100 Statement Credit

18 Viacom Channels that have been affected:

Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, BET, VH1, CMT, Logo, Spike, TV Land, MTV2, VH1 Classic, Palladia, Nick Jr., NickToons, TeenNick, Nickelodeon West, Tr3s, Centric, MTV India, Nickelodeon HD, Comedy Central HD, MTV HD, BET HD, VH1 HD, CMT HD and Spike HD.

WHY is this happening?
Viacom is running a massive shakedown and is requiring an additional ~30% increase in fees (or about 1 billion dollars) from DirecTv ... the corporations didn't reach agreement by the cut off time.

DirecTV has a site dedicated to this: http://www.directvpromise.com/

When you call:

"Cancel" at the first prompt
"Cancel" again at her next question
"No" when she asks if you're canceling because you're moving
