    Wrong Dude.
    DISH won the bid for the NFL licensing this year which means direcTV pays a higher rate. Get your facts straight.

    WRONG Dude.
    Starz and Encore package which are sold at premiums because liberty media owns Direct TV. Liberty Media owns STARZS. You have a company that it competes against that has its own entertainment channels at a discount.
    Also BANDWIDTH, BANDWIDTH, BANDWIDTH. Direct TV has the largest spectrum of bandwidth and has a much larger capacity to handle HD tv compared to DISH. Although any brilliant consumer will tell you that HD services for satellite are better than cable since comcat mostly only streams 720 HD resolution, while satellite DISH and DirectTV can stream many more channels in true 1080P resolution.
