To late in the year to even contemplate this. With elections coming and if the Dems sweep, this merge talk will be shelved again to possibly after the next non presidential election and only if the Dems are kicked out. Competition is a good thing.

If they merge then people with E* equipment will be able to order NFL Sunday Ticket ?
Yea, because NFL ST is programming, not hardware.
There are certain hardware/software things you wouldn't be able to get, but their so minor who cares.

If something like this were to happen I doubt too much of either subs service would change, atleast, for a while. It'd be a looonng transitioning period.

Both services offer VOD, Both offer HD content, PPV, Locals, etc etc etc.

The differences in what they offer are very minor.

The big step will be making a satellite dish (and receiver) that can pick up DirecTVs 99 through Dishes 129 :D

A Dish/Direct merger? I seriously doubt it. Too much possibility of a monopoly. Uncle Sam will never let that happen. Besides, what good would it do? Other than making life 1000 times harder on the poor reps who answer the phones that is

Uncle Sam wouldn't let it happen? Heck, they wrote "no merger" into the rules for satellite radio and THAT was allowed.

What "Uncle Sam" thinks changes day by day or election by election.
