DTV and Dish Network Discuss Merger Talks Again

[dishfan82]

$120? The premier plan is over $230 now. Without credits, their pricing makes no sense compared to other tv providers.

I don’t even have their highest plan but it’s ridiculous what it cost to watch tv now . Other than for sports , I don’t watch TV.

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

Incredibly doubtful since the RSNs average 1-3% of the Household audience.

Considering that YTTV does not have them, yet is already the #4 Provider in his short lifespan of 7 years, or the fact that DirecTV does have them and has lost over 14 Million subs in that same 7 years, shows that the vast majority do not care about them.

Here is the link with the RSN ratings-

Actually, they are. Not sure how they could afford to do it with their debt?

Probably cost about as much, or maybe more, to cancel that satellite and launch than to go thru with it. Not sure of the specs, but it might be sellable in orbit.
