We continue to draw closer to a long-term agreement with Viacom, and keep asking that they return their networks while we finalize details. Our goal is to keep you connected at a reasonable cost for the next several years, so your family needn’t endure another unnecessary interruption of these networks. Today Viacom returned free online access to many of its shows, so you can check Hulu.com and Viacom’s own free websites for new episodes within 24 hours of their initial telecasts. We look forward to resolving this matter in your favor very soon, and until then, please enjoy our special free previews of the MLB Strike Zone and MLB Extra Innings (channels 719-749): Encore movie networks (channels 535-542); and permanent addition of Disney Junior on channel 289.
That's nice that they're considerate enough to give some freebies to their viewers, but only the Encore channels??? I would've expected them to give me HBO, Cinemax AND Showtime for a month for this inconvenience...
