What will happen if Dish and DirecTV merge?

[Lighthope]

Since Dish's CEO said a merger with DirecTV is "inevitable", what do you thing will happen?

Will DirecTV become more like Dish? Or will Dish become more like DirecTV?

I'll be done with satellite.

So they bump their satellites into each other?

It'll be more like Dish in equipment/satellite use, and more like DTV in pricing.

That is what I am afraid of. We'll end up getting DirecTV pricing and customer service.

Hopefully not. I have a friend that said Direct TV only shows there customer representatives to talk to a customer for only a short time.

Doubt it will be anytime soon.
Don't let your panties get in a bunch.
Pay tv prices have nowhere to go but up always have.
They will force even more people to stack.

I will give us more variety as both carry some different channels. I kind of doubt that will happen for sometime, but in this day, who knows?

Been hearing these rumors for 20+ years. If it happens it happens.

I don't think the government will ever allow it.

Dish has lost a lot of subscribers, this last Quarter. I'm sure DirecTV is in the same boat, a Merger may not happen and Satellite TV could be down to just Dish, DirecTV/AT&T will focus on their cable and streaming platforms, unless Charlie can score whatever customer base DirecTV has left for a cheap price.

DTV lost over twice as many.

In terms of % or raw numbers?

That's all customer service. I talked to a Verizon rep who said they have 11 minutes to get you off the phone
