Sale of Direct TV to Dish TV
Just got off the phone with Direct TV Service Tech in Ft Myers Fl. There will be no sale of DTV to Dish TV. For now we are stuck with ATT. DTV is for sale but don't expect that to happen anytime soon....

THe sale of DirecTV to AT&T was not good for DirecTV.. The problem is if Direc is sold to DISH you end up with basically a monopoly (Oh sure there is Orby but they are a different technology and not nearly competition.. yet).
Just like broadcast media. where there uses to be hundreds of companies.. We are down to about six.
I don't know what "different technology" you think Orby uses than the other two DBS services, but now that the FCC has said streaming TV is a viable competitor to cable and satellite TV, claiming a Dish/DTV merger is a monopoly falls apart pretty quickly.
