As if buying Cingular Wireless last year just to get the iPhone on AT&T’s side and providing users with crappy 3G service wasn’t enough, AT&T is now going to try screwing us again with Satellite TV from DirecTV.
As a long customer of AT&T (couple years ago), I am glad I made the choice to never buy or use any of their products until they die a horrible death. Well, literally, AT&T is full of crap and the only reason they are surviving is the fact that their deceptive marketing is so good.
Now, I don’t even like any cable or satellite companies, but AT&T, I do hate with passion. (Yes, only if their customer support team was able to refund all my monies that might change but heck, they are a big giant poop to me now.)
Help my cause and please boycott AT&T at all possible costs. You can buy the iPod Touch, just don’t buy an iPhone with AT&T. (crap, it’s crap, get the G-phone)
AT&T will market and sell a co-branded version of DirecTV’s satellite TV service after Jan. 31, 2009 — a deal that will leave Dish Network without a major reseller partner.
Financial details of the non-equity agreement, announced late Friday, were not disclosed.
DirecTV has similar agreements with Verizon Communications, which markets the direct-broadcast satellite service in areas where it doesn’t offer FiOS TV, as well as Qwest Communications International.

DIY - How to Build Your Own HDTV Antenna and use Direct TV Satellite as Mount!
Don’t get the wrong idea here. The idea is to use an existing Direct TV Satellite as a mount for the HDTV antenna. This does awfully better than anything you can buy and probably get really good reception with this method.
I got my Tv converter Box (with the Government program Coupon). I hooked up with a regular rabbit ear antenna and although the signal and quality are waaaay better that the analog ones, I couldn’t get all the stations and some where a bit erratic. I went on Google and start looking for HDTV antennas and I found several easy to make DIYs setups, but they can be big and ugly to keep in my living room. So, I build the antenna but and I use an old Direct TV dish mounted in my garage (I don’t have the subscription and I don’t want too), the dish has been in my place since I move, and the best thing, it’s wired to my living room.
