If AT&T Buys DTV... Peace out!

[MrYeahBut]

The games that are going to be added are just the Thursday night NFLN that will be simulcast. It doesn't affect the ticket in anyway.

You're not helping my argument,

Don't be surprised if the ticket goes to NFL Network sooner than later

For AT&T, the deal is mainly about gaining scale in video and acquiring the bargaining power that comes with that to license premium content — particularly with the looming specter of a tie-up between Comcast and Time Warner Cable. AT&T will combine its 5.7 million U-verse TV customers with DirecTV's roughly 20.3 million US subscribers. "All of a sudden you're talking about the number-two pay-TV provider in the country," says Dan Rayburn, an analyst with Frost & Sullivan. "That means you can negotiate for better programming, and at a better price."

Don't jump ship before it actually hits an iceberg. Even if ATT acquired DTV wait to see if the customer service is negatively affected.

I have had AT&T home phone service, mobile phone service, high speed internet service. and more recently switched to their UVerse which lowered my overall cost. My Direct TV is billed on my Uverse bill. My service has been excellent here in Arkansas but I understand service can be different at different locations.
