Revenues were still up though - maybe with the separation of the entities? Revenue beat estimates by wall street. Churn grew a little bit but it still fairly low imho.

Really not as signifficant as it seems... sat because it was different, and cheaper, plus better oic when cable was all analog, was the cause of the huge cable HEMORAGE of the lste 90's to 2004, and now desparate advertising (ditch the dish, etc).... there really are no huge numbers of new customers for ANYONE anymore... mostly, just those now moving around for one reason or another... or the relatively few next generation in new homes coming along.
