Re: Fine and Dandy...

It's not satellite - it's terestrial wireless/wimax. Latency won't be an issue.

I'd be interested in it. I currently use DirecTV and prefer it to the cable offerings in my area. If they offered a decent competitor price, speed and stability wise to the cable or DSL offerings I can get, I would certainly consider switching.

 I second that. I've had both Dish and DirecTV and prefer either to cable. However, I want broadband and bundled discounts offered by cable made me get rid of the dish.

If DirecTV and/or Dish can offer a WiMax solution with a bundled TV/VOD/DVR/broadband package, I'd love to have a competitive option.

Of course it's not enough to offer 1Mbps. I'd expect several Mbps service, reasonable price, no port blocking or GB/month caps etc, etc, etc.
