DISH, DirecTV to merge?

[ekilgus]

Doesn't this kinda tell everyone what ATT thinks of the DTV future? I gather they are not putting a dime into development.

Maybe it's true they don't plan on any DTV in five years. Or are we down to four?

AT&T has already announced no new satellites for Direct TV. I wonder what they would do if a satellite failed? Perhaps they already have spare capacity or some other contingency plan?

Correct. They launched their last satellite earlier this year.

I might agree, I had a ribeye at the Texas Roadhouse in Grand Island, NE a few years back and it was great! It was also very well priced...

We have a Texas Roadhouse here that my kids love. One time we went to Logan's instead because Texas Roadhouse was packed with a travelling football team. Never, ever again. My Strip Steak was grey. GREY!!! I kid you not.

Atleast Texas Road house has Directv and NOT Dish.

Oh, the HORROR!

I let her watch the Dice Clay, too. My kids are pretty mature. Heck, my 11 yr old (going on 18) swears with precision. I blame their mother....

A handful of 5G towers is nowhere near a nationwide 5G network ready to start selling to new customers.

And where are you going to get a Kangaroo branded cell phone?

Your local Dish Network Retailer?

Ha ha ha ha

AT&T can't even get their Directv retailers interested enough to sell their wireless garbage.

The perfect opportunity was with the blockbuster stores, and they let those go after that project failed.

Oh yeah and while Dish is building this fake wireless network they are going to take over Directv also.

Hopper mobile is just a pipe dream.

Cough cough ..... 3400+ Towers in the Sprint/T-Mobile merger. Claude, why do you torture yourself so?

 

[HipKat]

Yes, and then you have ATT's "5Ge" BS.

It should be called what it really is - Enhanced 4G

Merger hasn't been approved yet.

3400 potential towers, just like 11 potential transponders at 119 and 3 potential transponders at 110.

Although I think dish has a better chance of getting the remaining transponders at 119 and 110 from AT&T than actually building out a fake wireless network.

And let's say for a minute Charlie does launch Hopper mobile. Hopper mobile because your phone hops in and out of dish networks cellular network.

What are you going to do when Charlie gets in a dispute with roaming carriers and your kangaroo phone only works on dish 5G Network?

I'm just saying, I don't eat in restaurants that have Dish Network.

I had this new wing place by my house that had Dish.

I had to upgrade them to Directv before I would eat there.

Can't have a wing place without being able to show fox sports

FYI -- AT&T is reportedly exploring a sale of DirecTV - CNN

 

[HipKat]

Who else would be able to afford to buy DTV, out of curiosity?

They could just spin it off.

That 'Supporting Founder" label comes with a few perks.

He gets away with things the rest of us would get banned for. Apparently the mods think that's ok.

 

[rvvaquero]

Come on guys, we all get away with getting off subject. At least Claude's breaches are focused and predictable.

Funny when you think about it, Directv was a stand alone company before ATT assimilated it and to spin it off would make it a stand alone again.

What a waste of time, money and a great company.
