I'm ready to jump ship on Direct TV...  Versus in studio guys arent the best but its the only game in town (literally) many Mondays and Tuesdays -- even with Center Ice and NHL Network. 

I've repeatedly emailed Direct and always get the same canned answer.  Anyone have any new info...

Thanks for writing. I understand your concern about getting Versus back. Our contract with Comcast expired on August 31, 2009, and we were unable to reach agreement on a renewal. Comcast was demanding renewal terms that did not reflect market value for the channel, and they forced us to drop Versus unless we agreed to their unreasonable terms.

Nevertheless, we continue to work in good faith with Comcast to try to reach a fair and just settlement that will bring Versus back to DIRECTV. At this time, however, we have no new information to report.
