There would be conditions to buy off the objections. Free up Season Ticket to the cable companies; guarantee carriage of all TV stations and subchannels, even in Barrow, Alaska for the NAB; price limits and maybe a la carte for the consumer advocates.
So much probably that DirecTV wouldn't bother. Cheaper to just let DISH go broke when they finally lose the TiVo suit and then buy the assets from the court.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Dish thought they were going to save a few bucks by not paying the TiVo license fee, but will most likely go broke because of it.
As a DirecTV subscriber, I'm all for them buying up soon to be circling the drain Dish Network assets.
