Re: Dish/Directv?

Well, there is always C/Ku band (big dish) service that those people can get instead of DirectTV/Dish. In the end, DirectTV/Dish merger had some major players lobbing against it while there was nobody like that trying to de-rail Sirus/XM deal. I still don't understand how that merger is going to work since XM has geostationary orbit based sats while Sirus has Molniya orbit (eliptical) based sats.

There are places where OTA is hard or impossible to get, and hulu/appletv requires an internet connection.
