    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Directv and Dish merging is one thing. AT&T owning the merged product, that would seem a bridge too far.

    Starlink and Dish OnDemand?

    From what I have read since making that comment Starlink would most likely work at my home. When Starlink first came out I could not get a Northern view for it due to tall trees. When I get back from my next trip I will test it out being I will still have days and gb to use.

    Gemini Boxes

    The Gemini boxes have to be authorized to your account by serial number. The last that I knew,, DTV was treating the Gemini (both satellite and streaming) the same the Gemini mini clients: When removed from an account, they don't want them back and they can't be reactivated.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    I don't see how this is possible without this merger spinning off as an independent company away from AT&T. I can't see any way AT&T will be allowed to own two Sat companies. The other side of things, how does this work for Echostar, unless they get enough cash that it funds the final push out...

    According to CordcuttersNews.com. He says Echostar want to just become a wireless company, get Dish off their books just like AT&T did with DTV but still get some cash from Dish.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    One real savings would likely be the elimination of the leased Canadian slot. Direct and echostar probably are sitting on enough uunused KU capacity to consolidate around the remaining slots.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    There is a terrible deficiency in detecting sarcasm around here. The point is, T-Mobile and Sprint merged and as a consequence, Dish, out of the blue, became a cell phone company. Ergen is good at what he does. So the idea that he'd end up owning AT&T would be a likewise, how in heck sort of...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    It would immediately go on scrutiny simply with the current environment of reinvigorated antitrust review. But the mass subscriber losses & debts leading up would likely in the end leave them a green light to go forward.

    DTV and Dish Network Discuss Merger Talks Again

    If Dish can get this looming debt bomb pushed off / stretched out- Why would they need DTV? Wait for the customers to come to you after DTV shuts down. Outwait them.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    So Bruce how does this effect the debt Charlie already has with Echostar/DISH? Does it get absorbed into the debt that Directv already has through ATT?

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Well, whatever AT&T pays for Dish, it will just get added to their long term debt, which is currently $125 Billion.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    IS that what it is? I wonder how Charlie gets any money and from who when they merge? IF ATT does buy his assets then I could see how he might get some money out of the deal. But I still wonder where does all the outstanding debt from both companies goes when they merge? Echostar has...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    They combined have 18-19 Million now (about 10-11M for all of DirecTV, 8 Million for Sling/Dish). By the time this gets approved/denied by the Government, will have about 3 Million less, which actually should help this get approved.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Ergen wont own AT&T. How could he buy AT&T with his debt? It's just Echostar selling Dish to DirecTV.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Sounds like TPG would be the one that runs the new company since they are already running Directv. I think DISH would get some cash out of the deal, but I don't know how. Either way it won't be the same and I am wondering how Sling TV and Directv Stream come out on this deal either. Either...
