RE: One Dish For Internet and DirecTV Debra, I think that this is a step in the right direction, but I don't believe that this is the best soluion. It is unclear to me if this truly integrates PC/DirecTV - data/multimedia and that IMO is where Hughes really wants to be. The next step is to develop a card that sits in your PC and allows reception of DirecTV along with software that integrates the reception of data with mulitmedia. This was in the works with Microsoft, although I don't know what the current status is on this project. This would allow data to be transferred via the DirecTV satellite for customers who were interested in more information about a show or product and it really is a seperate product from DirecPC. Perhaps one day, we will see a true convergance of Internet and multimedia, but that day is a long way off.
