Oh look, FXX and DirectTv rip off their customers. I have a Choice package and had FXX yesterday. Well, that was a 9/2-9/13 promo. To retain the channel, you have to upgrade to the next tier.

**** you DirectTv and FXX. I'm canceling my DirectTv as soon as my 2 years is up and will be pirating Sunny...enjoy the ratings drop FXX.
 
Don't feel bad.

Comcast just pulled some similar ********.

When FXX got added, my then-current cable package was discontinued and changed to a new one including that.

It also gave me Starz (which I didn't have previously), and in total upped my bill by 40 bucks.
 
Thinking about cancelling cable all together and just getting Hulu and Netflix. Cable companies are greedy, cheating bastards.

I wouldn't advise doing that.

I'm not too sure about Hulu, but I'm sure its just like Netflix, in that new episodes don't appear there immediately after they air.
 
I will just watch anything new I want on the internet for free. Then when I want to see them in high def, wait until they are on Hulu or Netflix. I would save about $1000/yr if I didn't pay for cable.
 
I've gone the same way, chaseter. All I have now is Netflix and a 3tb external to fill to my heart's content. Screw cable. Although, I do miss knowing what's going on. Never get to see commercials or anything and never know exactly when something premieres unless I go looking for it on the net. Used to just know because all the promos in the shows
 
I suggest no one use the site stream-tvme that Krypton warrior posted about....it has malicious spamware on it.
 
Cable and Dish companies are all disgraceful, greedy scum. The only thing worse than them is our government that does absolutely ZERO in keeping these guys in check. Instead, the FCC takes....what was it I saw on Real Time with Bill Maher.....? Oh yeah....PAID vacations from these companies for over 60 FCC employees.

Completely disgusting.
 
I have brighthouse and FXX is included with a cable box but they want to charge us to come put new lines out so we can actually use the cable box which is stupid. So torrents for me as well
 
Luckily for now I still have FXX. I don't know that it'll last though.
 
I'd blame Fox over Directv. They're the ones that created the channel and are probably.charging quite a bit for its use. Directv has no choice but to.charge more for it.

This. Isn't this why there was that blackout of CBS for all of Time Warner customers? Not that Time Warner is all that better of a company.
 
Yeah im not defending Directv because I think they're an awful company but in this situation its not their fault
