Because the big cheeses always want more money and the shopping channels pay D* to carry them vs. having to pay for channels that their customers actually want.

I want more MTV-NOT MORE SHOPPING!!!!! I think home shopping channels should be Banned.

How disappointing. I thought it would be another cartoon channel with "Screen Gems" brand. Oh well...another channel to remove from the "received" list. I fail to see the reason for this to be front page news.

Geez, thanks DirecTV! I'd much rather have yet ANOTHER shopping channel than more MTV channels, more HBOs & Cinemax channels, or Nick Gas! :nono2:

"Valuable" gift certificates worth $10 off already overpriced stuff, probably. Fun fun....

 

[Bobman]

Another in the list of quality new channels that people have been demanding.

Thanks DirecTV.

I guess the sentiment here is this would fit in the "Deadline" segment of Who Cares! Or perhaps the Bimbo Update
