This was enough to raise the opinions of several AOL analysts on Wall Street, propelling the stock nearly 9 percent higher. AOL said its AOL TV unit had reached deals with Hughes Electronics Corp.'s DirecTV, the No. 1 U.S. satellite TV service with 7 million subscribers, to combine DirectTV programming with an enhanced TV service from AOL TV.
