If you're a DirecTV or Dish Network subscriber, the two monster satellite TV companies want to wish you a Merry Christmas ... by raising the cost of your bill.
Viacom and DirecTV have made up. The cable programmer and the satellite broadcaster reached a deal on Friday after a nine-day standstill over a fee hike which led to blackouts.
You probably don’t know, or for that matter even care, what Viacom is, that is until DirecTV stops carrying their programming. Well, this is set to happen tonight at midnight. And if you are a DirecTV subsciber this is definitely going to affect your TV time. But it’s not too late to stop this from happening.
