Dish Discussing Merger With DirecTV > Charlie's dreaming.... this FCC is Telco owned and operated

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.
