Funny, he went in there with the idea to turn DTV into the lowest common denominator for satellite service i.e. cheap and featureless STBs at near to zero cost, with as many low quality channels as possible on a transponder, for everyone. That sale means those N** STBs are out. And the cards as well. Not that the DTV STB is much better. But at least it is running a real OS and not some cooperatively multitasked POS that can't run for more than 20 hours without leaking memory. Now all they need to do is improve the quality of the HD channels i.e. a little more variety than one 2yo movie shown every 6 hours for a week.

Somehow I suspect Murdoch's calling D* the "turd bird" and then selling it to Malone also suggests they have deemphasized the service a bit. ;-)
