I see your point to some extent about DSSH but many homeowners have dishes that are inactive for many reasons. Also many homeowers my be paying for DTV and using a DSSH also. Why not just drive around and log every DTV dish you see that would be easy.
With the lack of a public P-4 hack at this time DTV mite look good to SBC. As for DSSH getting even more problems if SBC buys them out or merges the P-4 may go and anothor card mite come up that is DSSHable for the public.
SBC looks like a sound company and other than the Taxes we now don't have to pay vs cable I would welcome the merge. If I keep getting digital local channels I'm happpy Cable-Comm can't do that for me.
Considering DTV history with H, then HU, it's only a matter of time before the P4 is hacked and then it's back to the drawing board. I hope SBC would consider DTV a hackable product long term, not matter how much $$$ is thrown at the issue.
