If you have ever watched a sporting event in HD you will want HD channels. DTV has aggressively added HD programming and has aggressively signed contracts with sports organizations. Better than Comcast or Dish Network. You have to love subscription businesses for their steady cash flow especially if their subscriber base continue to grow.

His $688.1-million Chou Associates Management Inc.

DirecTV Comes Through with Free Cash Flow - Prior Worries Recede
 When I first read the DirecTV (DTV) press release I was worried the stock would trade down. I saw the results as mixed with a few negatives offsetting plenty of positives. I sure was wrong. As the conference call (see transcript here) concluded, the stock was up 6.1%.
<>I think part of the gains relate to ongoing takeover speculation as DTV approaches the closing of its merger with Liberty Media Entertainment (LMDIA). LMDIA owns 54% of DTV. The deal dramatically reduces LMDIA's John Malone's influence and simplifies the corporate structure. It also sets up a spin-off of the rapidly growing D...

The DIRECTV Group, Inc. (DTV) reported revenues of $5.47 billion in the third quarter of 2009.
On a geographical basis, revenues from United States grew 9% to $4.7 billion due to solid subscriber and average revenue per unit (ARPU) growth. The company added 136,000 net subscribers to its customer base in the United States primarily due to the addition of AT&T (T) as a marketing partner and record demand for company’s premium services.
