I read it was about 60 cents per subscriber extra. I also called them and received the following.
20 bucks off a month for a year Upgraded HD receiver to HD/DVR receiver for free Starz/encore free for 6 months NFL sunday ticket for free
They were very giving lol. The only problem is you have to agree to a 1 year commitment if you want the sunday ticket or box upgrade. I have 3 kids under 6 so this really sucks. They love them some toons and directv was more then happy to oblige to my demands. I also found out that if you terminate your contract to goto another sattelite/cable company you pay 20 dollars per month for every month left on your contract. I had four months left so i could have paid 80 dollars to get rid of my contract. Hope this helps

So they should just pay 30% more for a group of channels that are in decline? That would mean they care about customers? Even though giving Viacom what they want, would raise the bills of all of their customers.. You're sense of customer service is twisted.
They are fighting for the ability of the customer to be able to pick which channels they want to have, instead of paying for the whole "Family of Networks" under the Viacom Umbrella. Why would you pay for Logo, TVLand, and CMT if you never watch those stations? Because people ,like yourself, just fall in line and agree to anything.
Dish Network and AMC are going through the same thing right now, and AMC has far better programming than any of Viacom's awful networks.

That's a better deal than I got. $20 off for a year is pretty impressive. I was pretty nice about it though, didn't feel like being a jerk. Did you complain a lot about it or just stay on the line for a while to get a better offer?
I was able to get:
$10 off my bill for 2 months (they initially only offered $5 for one month) Showtime for 6 months free Starz for 6 months free
