| What advantage does a DirecTV sub get when the competition stubs its toe?
NONE as I see it.

It annoys me a ton that some of these markets being launched are in the middle of nowhere with pops of 30,000. I know Buffalo DMA has shrunk a ton, but many of these markets are considerably smaller.
Norfolk, VA
Burlington, VT
Beaumont, TX
Seriously?

1) Retrans Consent
2) SpotBeams
3) getting fiber to the uplink.

What happened to Mobile/Pensacola, which was announced in January. Now it is not even on the list. PLus this is they most vague announcement that Dish has ever issued. They were vague enough, but ended the announcement with a disclaimer.

Its probably just that Charlie and the Boys, thought we had already had hd here, like they promised us in 2006 
D* with AAA discount and their normal national offerings are looking better and better after my CI expires.

Look at the WSJ article, which made it sound like the satellite was dead and now Dish Network was on its death bed.
This press release was basically what I said on Sunday Nights podcast, that Dish can move ahead with its HD plans with or without AMC-14.
