Just found this:

NEW YORK, Sept 23 (Reuters) - U.S. satellite TV provider DISH Network Corp (DISH.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) agreed to extend its joint marketing partnership with AT&T Inc (T.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) by one month through to Jan 31 2009, according to a regulatory filing on Tuesday.

AT&T said in July that it would end the five-year marketing partnership with DISH by the end of the year. AT&T had said in April that it would end a similar partnership with DirecTV Group (DTV.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), the largest U.S. satellite provider.

Both satellite operators are expected to bid for an exclusive marketing partnership with AT&T to sell joint packages of satellite TV, phone and high speed Internet access.

The partnerships have been important for both the satellite companies and AT&T in competing against the so-called 'Triple Play' offers from cable operators like Comcast Corp (CMCSA.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and Time Warner Cable Inc (TWC.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz).

Yep. But not everywhere, and it really isn't very good.

If you want to record a couple of HD shows while watching a third, you'd better have a satco or Fios. Maybe some cablecos support that too.
 
I Just read on the Multichannel News site that AT&T has decided to partner with Direct TV starting Feb 1, 2009. For those of us that currently go through AT&T for our dish service how does this affect us? Will Dish have to come out and give us new boxes etc?
 
First I hope direct does better for them then we did..even though they used our equipment their service was worse, partially due to the lack of 24hr tech support..
I have no worries we will be here for long time...
 
This does not come as a surprise I hope.
D* offers a lot more than E* in term of programming, have less problems with programmers. I have been a customer with E* for over 12 years, and I will drop them "soon", for the simple reason of not being able to get HD only. Probably the D* does not offer HD only, but I just had it with E*. Voom, golTV etc...that did it.
Goodbye Charlie,I hope you lose Billions come Monday when the stock market opens with the ATT news.

Doesn't Dish offer an all HD package?

I used to like Chevy...then switched to Ford. Does that mean I can also hope GM will "lose billions" due to my personal preferences? I definitely have to question your choice(s) for hatred.

You need to realize there are pro and cons to any service.

U-verse is bound to have features or limits that some people don't like either.

I'm not saying you shouldn't change. Heck, when U-verse gets to my area, you better believe I'm going to check it out.

Do you have any idea how many U-verse subscribers I have switched back to Dish while they were still in their 30 day trial period?

It is not everything they lead you to believe. At least not yet.
 

Could equipment be damaged? Cant get Dish500 going!

Need Help with Dish 500 Install
