Rumors are abound that Malone might try to merge DTV with DISH. I don't see this immediately happening.
From what I remember, the FCC has informally said that they wouldn't be able to merge since they directly compete (unlike AT&T/BellSouth, for example) and are the only two major providers of satellite.

I've got DTV and really like it for the most part, but Dish's HD w/ DVR offerings are better and cheaper (at least for the hardware.) I don't have HDTV yet, but hopefully soon. I've stuck with DTV because they've got the exclusive NFL package, which is great. But I'll be willing to check out Dish and Lightspeed when AT&T merges and starts offering it in the South. We'll see. Anyone but Comcast!
