YAHOO!!.Charlie Ergin is in for it now. Rupert has a hard on for echostar due to the sh*t they pulled when he first tried to aquire DTV, so it shall be interesting to see what happens. Wish he could pull all his FOX programming from Dish, but I am sure they would cry their eyes out if he did. At least DTV has NFL for another 5 years. I knew they wouldnt give that up, brings in to much business. I got tired of hearing that the CATV companies were going to get it and then all you heard was that Dish was going to get it.
Will be interesting to see how the Sat biz shapes up now. I have always beleived in DTV...in my opinion it is a much better platform from a tech's view and definately much more consumer friendly than Dish espicially if the cust wants to make repairs themselves.(go an try to find parts for dish....even the retailers have a hard time getting parts)
