Yeah, it is still in rumor mode, but depending on the angle, potentially plausible rumor.

No specific date, the article was on Yahoo this morning

That doesn't work. Dish became a mobile company to help create another alternative. AT&T can't buy Dish. AT&T has to sever their ties to Directv if regulators were to ever approve this.

I would assume that would be based on the plan presented. I'm guessing a number of rural state Senators in DC will have a bit of interest in this (kind of like when Amtrak becomes a topic). If the agreement is well thought out and makes the availability of the sat product more secure, maybe this...

The debt holders are taking control

I don't think there is a benefit to a merger of Dish and Directv. I think there is a benefit if a third party involved has a lot of cash available to help Dish push forward with the cell build out. Based on the numbers, Dish appears to be small potatoes compared to Directv, especially...

Yes, there a lot of those annoying ads with talking pigeons pushing direct TV streaming. But pigeons may be prophetic as far as customers go, right?

Is this true?

I stand corrected. I guess my comment was more anecdotal than factual as it seems most of my friends who have cut the cord have switched to Sling TV. And there may be cost savings if they combine DirecTv Stream with Sling, correct?

I purchased a few Gemini boxes online when I switched to Directv Stream and have been unable to get them working because I was told that the last person never deactivated the box. Does anyone know if there is a way for me to do that from my end? I tried to do it at one point with a Directv Rep...

Is anyone else missing the 'year of production' in the grid? I can see the year in the cell, but you have to click in the grid to see it. 😡

I do not doubt you, but I'm curious why Starlink will not work at your home.

Sling is not popular, only 2 Million subscribers versus YouTube TV, with over 8 Million.

If I remember correctly, neither system (Boxes) is compatible with the other.

No dog in this hunt but it is interesting to follow since I used to have DTV (and my sister still does). I knew DTV was in trouble when they lost NFL Sunday Ticket. And Dish has huge debt payments due. According to the WSJ: "The deal, if secured, would give DirecTV’s owners—the telecom...

Combining the back office functions alone will save millions...as equipment wears out..they just switch them to dish..no need to spend billions for a 1 time cutover..Just wait it out

But they only lost 14 Million Subscribers since AT&T purchased DirecTV. This story still does not make sense to me, the costs alone in merging the two companies will be astronomical, for less returns. Currently, DirecTV losses about 2 Million subscribers a year, Dish over a million, those...

Ah yes, because they have such a crack management team that's been doing such a good job the past few years! Not that there's any saving the idea of lashing the Titanic and the Britannic together and hoping that somehow makes them sink more slowly.

Fear Of Falling - The Badlees

I've been around computers and tech for years. A soft reset is any reset done from within the software, or a button while maintaining power. A hard reset is a complete disconnect from power source and then reconnected, aka unplugging. Unless completely unplugged there's will still be power...

Yes, should be fine
