I heard about the possibility of DirecTV joining Dish in providing commercial-free TV today from my boss at Dish, but I didn't believe it until now. What I don't get is if DirecTV were sitting on technology that could do this, why wouldn't they have provided their subscribers with something so great? I now watch more TV because the PrimeTime Anytime feature on my Hopper records all of the primetime shows from the four major networks, and now I have the choice of watching those recordings commercials-free. Dish has made me a fan of TV and a subscriber for life with their technology. DirecTV shouldn't have said anything unless they were announcing the launch of something like this for their subscribers.
