It's been a week since DirecTV and Viacom's contract dispute resulted in nearly 20 million satellite customers staring at blank screens instead of MTV, Comedy Central, Vh1, Nickelodeon and several other Viacom-owned stations. Now the broadcaster is telling viewers not to get their hopes up for a quick resolution.

Who cares they are garbage channels anyway
I hope Directv does not cave in. Many people were using the internet to watch some of these channels and now Viacom has blocked that for everyone. Many will leave Directv and go elsewhere because of the dropped channels but they better be prepared for a huge rate increase where ever they are going. If Viacom loses all Dirctv money that is a HUGE loss and they will have to make that money up elsewhere. Look out cable and dish customers. The last I heard everything was sorted out but then Viacom wanted to add the Epix to the line up along with an extra half a billion dollars. Directv does not want the extra channel so now that is the hold up. Stand fast Directv don't cave in to their demands.
