Michael: Correct me if I am wrong.... 1) Primestar still uses a big dish as opposed to the 18 inch variety. 2) They still rent their equipment to customers as opposed to selling it. 3) They want to convert their business to the same basic technology that DISH and DirecTV do. 4) As far as subs go...DirecTV is 1st, PrimeStar is 2nd, and Dish is third. Will this blockage, delay Primestar significantly in updating their architecture. Will this speed up the date to which DISH will surpass Primestar in the number of subscriptions. Will people leave Primestar and jump to DISH??? I noticed that DISH shares were down today as of the time of this posting. Your news sounds pretty significant. I'm new to this industry and I am trying to learn more about the company. I'd like to invest in DISH but I'm deeply concerned about their debt load. I appreciate all of your informative posts.
