Direct TV has lost Comedy Central / The Daily Show. Among other stations.

I don't watch the other stations, so I forget what they are. But I definitely miss Comedy Central's The Daily Show.

Direct TV is having a fight with rates that Viacom is increasing for those stations. Direct TV is fighting, too, over Viacom allowing free videos of the shows being available on the internet.

Time to try Dish for a while?

1. We've had problems with Dish

Stations's being moved or removed, sometimes the dish being moved. Rates going up. We switched to AT&T U-Verse.

2. If you never have, sign up for two week free trial of hulu plus

Daily Show and Colbert Report are and will still be there. I imagine the contractual mess will be over within a few weeks.

3. I'll check it out. But I'm watching expenses, so depends on the cost. nt

5. hopefully it will be back on before the free trial runs out.

Usually these disputes don't last that long.

Hulu plus is 7.99 a month. It is a good value for me as I got rid of cable and use it to get mainly The Daily Show but they have had other things worth the money. For film buffs they have over 600 films from the criterion collection.

7. $8 a mo. isn't bad at all. And I could probably see other things I don't get. Thx. nt

8. I watched last night's show for free today on hulu.

Didn't have to sign up for anything. Regular hulu, not plus.

11. Really? Thx! I'll look for it. nt

4. Dish dropped AMC. No more Mad Men, Breaking Bad or Walking Dead.

6. Some people are getting refunds for complaining to DirecTV.

I haven't tried it yet because I don't feel like spending hours on the phone. I really miss Jon Stewart though.

9. I never thought I"d be happy

with Comcast but we've had no threats of channel dropping in quite awhile. I don't know if they're just in the middle of a contract or what but I'll take it.

10. I just saw on Clark Howard tonight that

you can still watch those shows online.
