Did ATT Just Throw Dish A (small)Lifeline?

AT&T will screw it up with their own behavior.

This box is just a front end for the current DTV Now service they have, which already has routine outages and feels like an unfinished product. So I'd argue they already are.

Streaming is still so far off the reliability of satellite, if it went away tomorrow I'd go back to cable.

My comment about at&t's behavior has nothing to do with that.
