Does anyone know the implications of the pending DirecTV - Echostar (Dish Network) merger?
What i'm trying to say is that if folks currently have a directv or dish network hdtv receiver, will this STB still work with the "merged" service offering/technology? Will people have to go out and purchase yet another STB?
I had read somewhere that panasonic has stopped the research on newer DirecTV HD STBs until they are sure of what ends up happening with the merger.
Just curious...
