My DirecTV satellite dish gets CSpan and CSpan2. But their channel line-up doesn't include CSpan3, which seems to be airing the shows I most want to view.
Every so often, I drop an e-mail to the DirecTV people and ask about this. I find it hard to believe that it would cost them much, if anything, to add in that other channel. But all I get back is one of those form e-mails that says, "Thank you for your comments, we'll look into it, yadda yadda yadda…"
I don't know that I have the energy to get up a petition or a letter-writing campaign on this. But maybe I can encourage someone out there to do something.
