Actually it probably won't affect you at all.
All AT&T does with Dish is sell a bundle of DSL + phone + TV using satellite. They have their own gateway which provides some basic integration (it's called Home something or other).
I expect them to do something similar with DirecTV. But if you are not a new sub, you will just continue with your current DirecTV subscription.
You could bundle your bills together but why? They don't actually give you much of a price break, if any. And, you have the hassle of not being able to go directly to the provider (Dish or DirecTV) when there's a billing issue.
For bundling my at&t wireless bill to my landline, I get $3 off. If they offer me $5 off my directv bill, why wouldn't I take it? I haven't had a billing issue in 4 years I have been with them. Ah well, I suppose paying a little more for the piece of mind of having one throat to choke is a good thing.
