Maybe so !

I was sitting in a local saloon an hour ago and on the DTV commercial feed right after the RENO 911 there was this ad for DISH. You gotta at least wonder.

hey Im all for a merger. separate they are weak. but together they would be unstoppable. DirecTV's sports plus all of the HD channels on Dish that aren't on DirecTV that people always complain about not having (Travel HD, WGNA HD, premium movie channels). think about it...

they will probably sell out to at&t, i mean they both have contracts with att now so why not?

Nope,
AT&T no longer has a contract with Dish Network.

If you are a dish subscriber do you really need a April Fool's day. Don't we have one every week
