Now, if DISH and WildBlue could get together too, THAT would be real competition!
For architectural aesthetics, I can appreciate the desire to combine onto one dish to minimize the architectural distraction and better hide the dish.
But for practical purposes, I'd *much* rather have separate services.
Otherwise, one service saddles you to the other.
If work needs to be done (e.g. an upgrade to add more HD channels to the TV) you run the risk of messing up the other service or need a more complicated, expensive mounting.
And they're practically giving away the TV dishes so you gain little in my book.
Well, the benefit that I am expecting (wishing for) is both simplicity and a combined, cheaper monthly price.
