| Charlie's dreaming.... this FCC is Telco owned and operated ... You really think DBS competitors would allow DirecTV and Dish to merge?
In the long run, DBS is going to have problems keeping profitable subs due to bundling deals from their Telco and Cable competition. DBS may find itself limited to only rural areas where neither cable or Telco services are available--- and this would hurt long term growth and profitability. With a merger however, they could be in a strong position to provide the very best TV service available. They need something, something compelling, to make people eschew the cable or Telco TV deal and go with Dish. The best HD, the most channels, the best DVR's, and excellent service, combined with good pricing, maybe what it will take.
If they could only offer broadband they'd be in good shape, but they really can't.

| DirectTV has better HD channels but dish has a few that DirectTV dose not have yet. It would nice for them to come together and be able to save alot of bandwidth and offer more HD then cable can even hope to have. |

| Plus it would unlock the patents with Tivo and Dish's DVR's and allow for the very best DVR's available on the market--- way better then Cable's.
Plus they could nuke competitors with the sheer numbers of HD streams. For example you could have 8 HD streams or more in a house--- Watching some, recording some, etc all at same time. Let's see U-Verse do that.
