It worked last year when Dish used the same tactics, and they ended up saving me money. I can't be too upset about that!

I agree. You're absolutely right in thinking that Viacom is going to fold first. With 9.5 million households now Viacom free, it just seems like Viacom has more to lose and faster. It's not about the 6 cents, it's a matter of principle and that I can understand.
