I don't think Directv can afford to loose their exclusive on the Sunday Ticket at this point.
Its forcing too many customers to keep their service that would rather switch

Directv would lose so many customers without the ticket...they need it to survive I think.

Your kidding, right ?
Without the ST, if your comparing D* to DISH and Cable, they would still be equal or better than.
If your talking about DISH, people have been saying for years that D* has superior picture quality, DISH has better equipment.
Do you watch your equipment or your TV ?
Like always, people should choose by who has the programming that they want, so some would go one way and others the other, because of it.
However, if both had the same programming, I believe they would chose D* unless its a price issue, DISH packages are less than D*, but D* offers more channels in most packages.
Of course D* would lose subs, that happens if you suddenly don't have programming ...
But that are HARDLY going to fold.
Yes, it did. If the merger weren't allowed to go through one or both companies would have gone under, anyway.
If you look at the pricing for the combined companies, there has been zero abuse. In fact, Sirius XM now offers ala carte packages which allow you to pick and choose 50 channels for about $9.00/month. So please, explain how this was a bad thing for anyone.
REALLY ?
WHERE ?
The companies stink since the merger.
I would LOVE to pick 50 channels and thats it for $9 p/m, I have 3 radios, so $27 p/m x 12 month.
Don't worry Joe, ST isn't going anywhere ...
It may be available elsewhere when it's all said and done, but it will still be on D* as well.
The Nfl wants the package exclusive to one provider period. Directv will get it for another 4 years or even 5. They talk about Google possibly getting it but it's not happening. Their cable service is only in a few areas and nobody is going to pay outrageous fees for streaming quality. I would say directv gets the package for 4 to 5 years around 4-6 billion dollar contract.

This is for the first radio only. I believe the 2nd and 3rd would cost you less.
and even if they get it some like Directv is still needed for commercial locations
After looking at the list, theres to many channels that I listen to that are not available or addl charges which would put me right back where I am.
Nfl football, MLB games, online service, just to name a few ...
yeah picture quality would still be an issue we'll see

my primary went up a bit, my secondary went up alot, i got a streaming charge, then a royalty charge.
all after the merger
i was paying double.
i honestly liked dish when i had it
i left because of cs issues and fee increases.
my directv bill has gone up a bit, but not as much as my dish did when i had it
if they merged, not sure what i would do, id have to see how things ironed out
i dont have the option for cable or fios out here in the sticks

The royalty charges are out of their control and even with the competition between Dish and DTV the rates go up every year like clockwork for both companies. Until the programming costs are brought under control it will continue to happen.
