No big surprise. I think the big surprise might be how little prosepective suitors are going to be willing to pay for it. Methinks this is going to be a Filene's Basement sale. 
not surprizing to me. with how AT&T ran it into the ground with all of the rate increases and the slop customer service.. the lady of the office of the president told me that DTV was nothing but a nightmare for ATT,, i wish DTV would go back to the way it was but that's wishful thinking... but in a way it makes sense if everyone's going the streaming route..
While I wouldn’t be surprised to see this happen, I have to wonder how that will affect the carriage contracts that are used not only for satellite, but for all their streaming packages too.
kinda like when sirius and xm mergedNo big surprise. I think the big surprise might be how little prosepective suitors are going to be willing to pay for it. Methinks this is going to be a Filene's Basement sale.
I wasn’t referring to that. The carriage contracts have prices that are at the level they are because of the subscriber totals shared over satellite and streaming. If they sell D* then those number drop like a stone which could mean ATT will have even more problems keeping their streaming prices somewhat competitive with the rest of the streaming market.
ok now i get what your saying. that will be interesting to see what happens. knowing ATT i'm there will be rate hikes!!! though i belive it's the most expensive streaming service out there along with t mo tv
Who would want it besides DISH? And I don't think DISH has the money at the moment as they are so invested in their 5G project.
wonders if they will let it go broke and buy it for pennies on the dollar???
Dish can reap a LOT of customers in a DTV collapse or shutdown. Not a lot of incentive to purchase.
And if they did, they would have two declining systems to work with. IMO, fire sale pricing would be the only way it would make sense.
the number one complaint about pay t.v. is cost currently. there has been a number of people saying that there pricing themselves out of business
I'll buy it. My opening bid stands at $10.
No, I mean let the DTV system die. Buying the full 119 spot might be worth buying. Maybe. But letting DTV cease ops and just absorb customers onto the Dish system who want to stay with sat would be easiest. Not keep both systems running.
they been saying there going to sell it for months now!!! makes me wonder why they changed there streaming service from DTV not to ATT tv now
Should we believe what the bankers are saying about this?
