The solid result was mainly attributable to double-digit growth in the top line, significant margin expansion and record net customer additions. DIRECTV continues to add new customers compared to other large pay-TV operators like Comcast Corporation (CMCSA), Time Warner Cable (TWC), and Cablevision Systems Corporation (CVC), who are sequentially losing basic video customers. Such consistent performance from DIRECTV is mainly attributable to customer screening, target marketing, innovative product developments, avoiding disputes with content manufacturers and most importantly the popularity of its NFL Sunday Ticket promotion, which drove subscriber addition of 327,000 in the U.S. during the quarter.

Earlier in August, the Department of Justice blocked the proposed merger and filed an antitrust lawsuit with the U.S. District Court in Washington. The trial is expected to start on February 13. Now, the FCC is seeking to send the proposal to the administrative law judge for hearing, which is expected to start after the completion of the trial. According to the FCC, the combination of the second and fourth wireless operators will create America’s largest mobile phone company surpassing the present leader, Verizon Wireless, a joint venture of  Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) and Vodafone Group Plc (VOD). The deal could also mellow down innovation ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DIRECTV (DTV) declared excellent financial results for the second quarter of 2011. These solid results were the combined effect of a double-digit growth of the top line and solid margin and ARPU expansion. The company is reaping the benefits of affluent quality subscribers, who are willing to pay for DIRECTV’s premium services and programs, which are pricier.  DIRECTV remains one of the few pay-TV service providers that are still generating video subscriber growth. However, net subscriber growth rate suffered a major setback in the U.S. in the recent times. This was primarily attributable to ongoing U.S. economic volatility and increasing competitive threat from telecom giants, who entered into the pay-TV services supported by their strong fiber-based network. Meanwhile, the Latin American operation continues to flourish and will remain strong in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DISH Network Corp. (DISH), the second largest satellite-TV operator in the U.S., has finally come out with its plan for its newly acquired bankrupt telecom firms. Recently, the company applied for FCC approval to deploy a high-speed wireless broadband network to offer mobile Internet services to its customers. In a filling with FCC, DISH requested for clearance of assets of its newly acquired entities DBSD North America Inc. and TerreStar Networks Inc. and for license waivers. In March 2011, DISH got a bankruptcy court approval to acquire 100% stake of DBSD for a total consideration of approximately $1.4 billion. In July 2011, DISH got another court approval to acquire bankrupt TerreStar Networks Inc. for $1.375 billion.

		<description><![CDATA[Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC), the second-largest cable operator in the U.S. after Comcast Corporation (CMCSA), is planning to acquire cable operation from NewWave Communications. The transaction is expected to cost Time Warner $260 million and will be closed by the end of 2011, subject to regulatory approvals. The acquisition will help the company in two ways. First, it will allow Time Warner to expand its footprint to non-urban areas where NewWave mainly operates. Second, Time Warner will cumulate 70,000 basic cable customers, 42,000 Internet users and 26,000 telecom subscribers of NewWave Communications. The urban areas are becoming highly competitive as big telecom giants like Verizon Wireless Communication (VZ) and AT&#38;T, Inc (T) are offering cable services through Fiber to the Node (FTTN) or Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) communications ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The market is getting nervous about the economic recovery. Concerns that the first quarter softness may carry into the second quarter and beyond have been weighing on stocks lately. Economists have generally maintained their GDP growth forecasts at this stage. But softish economic readings, such as yesterday&#8217;s ISM/ADP and today&#8217;s Jobless Claims reports, increase the odds that we may start seeing those estimates start coming down in the coming days and weeks. It is with this nervous backdrop that the market is looking forward to tomorrow&#8217;s non-farm payroll report for April. In addition to some pockets of strength, particularly on the manufacturing side, the most reassuring sign on the recovery front has been the emerging signs of a labor market turnaround over the last few months. We may have to ]]></description>

On one side of the corral stand Hollywood movie studios. On the other, the largest cinema chains in the United States. And like what happened at the O.K. Corral, it could change history. The problem started several weeks ago with a few major Hollywood movie studios: Warner Brothers, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal Studios and 20th Century Fox. Those four agreed to release their films on a premium video-on-demand basis with satellite company DirecTV (Nasdaq: DTV). More specifically, they agreed to offer them just a month or two after their theatrical releases.

Quarterly GAAP net income was $252 million or 56 cents per share compared with a net income of $179 million or 40 cents per share in the prior-year quarter.

Quarterly total revenue increased 8.2% to $3,210 million, from $2,960 million in the year-ago period. This was mainly due to an increase in subscriber related revenue. This was also above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3,193 million. However, DISH Network lost 156,000 net subscribers during the reported quarter, which reduced its total subscriber base to 14.133 million at the end of 2010. This ]]></description>

(TIVO), a developer of advanced television services including digital video recorders (DVR), will have to face a reopened patent infringement lawsuit originally filed by Echostar Corp. (SATS) in 2005, according to a recent U.S. District Court order. Under the order, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas lifted its stay on EchoStar&#8217;s patent infringement suit against TiVo. The suit, originally filed by EchoStar on four patents, has been brought down to one patent. EchoStar has also changed its position regarding the meaning of claim terms. The patent pertains to a mechanism that controls how multimedia files are stored, formatted and accessed. Hostilities between TiVo and Echostar dates back to 2004, when TiVo sued EchoStar, then the parent company of satellite television provider Dish Network Corp. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Competition some time results in strange business agreements. The two fierce rivals of the U.S. commercial satellite TV market, DIRECTV (DTV) and DISH Network Corp. (DISH) are on the verge of entering a joint deal with a media buyer through which interactive advertisements will flow to both DIRECTV and DISH subscribers. In April 2010, these two companies formed a joint venture called ‘Advanced Satellite Advertising Platform’ to offer a combined interactive advertisement platform to media buyers. We believe the primary reason for this business cooperation is the massive competitive pressure that the satellite TV companies are facing from cable MSOs, fiber-based networks of telecom operators, and the newly developed Internet video streaming service providers. By agreeing to shake hands, both DIRECTV and DISH will get necessary economies of scale, a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, Comcast Corp. (CMCSA), the largest cable MSO of the world, entered into an agreement to buy a 51% stake in NBC Universal from General Electric Co (GE), subject to government approval. Now, the Justice Department and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) are considering arbitration in programming disputes as a condition of approving Comcast&#8217;s acquisition of NBC Universal. The cable and satellite companies such as DirecTV (DTV) and Dish Network (DISH) were worried that they will lose leverage when negotiating for programming. But this acceptance in arbitration will allow these companies to negotiate with Comcast for programs. The Comcast-NBC deal is expected to give Comcast full control of NBC’s television network, broadcast stations, cable channels and a share of the online video provider Hulu, as well as a movie ]]></description>

(TWC), the second largest cable MSO in the U.S. may enter into an agreement with privately-held cable operator Cox Communications, for mutual co-operation of their respective cable systems in California . The cable systems are roughly worth $2 billion and will help both the companies reduce their operating costs such as customer servicing costs. The agreement may also expand to cover more geographic locations. However, it is also rumored that Time Warner Cable may also acquire the entire cable business of Cox Communications if the Cox Family, the owner of the company decides to quit.

(TIVO) announced a partnership with the premier provider of home solution and telecommunication technologies Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. Under the collaboration, the companies will jointly build an advanced, TiVo-ready, high definition PVR set-top box for digital video broadcasting (DVB) operators. The new PVR set top box will hit the market in 2011. Financial details on the deal were not divulged. The advanced high definition (HD) PVR will be initially available to European DVB networks and later on will be added to non-PVR devices and additional platforms worldwide. Samsung has licensed TiVo’s Hardware Porting Kit and the new set top box will allow operators to provide a cost effective and advanced television solution. As per the deal, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) has announced its intention to acquire venture capital-funded ExtendMedia, which is a maker of content management system (CMS) software. The deal, which according to some could be worth as much as $80 million, is expected to provide Cisco the necessary technology for delivering video over IP. ExtendMedia’s OpenCase suite (for managing, publishing and monetizing video across platforms) had a few big customers, such as AT&#38;T Corp (T) and Bell Canada &#8211; a subsidiary of BCE Inc (BCE). However, further growth was limited by the non-availability of funds. Consequently, the buyout, which is currently expected to close in the first half of 2011 (subject to regulatory approval), comes at an opportune moment. Video over IP is an extremely hot area, expected to grow very strongly over the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tremendous increase in subscriber related revenues led DISH Network Inc. (DISH) to post excellent second quarter 2010 financial results. The results significantly beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, the loss of net subscribers makes some analysts skeptical regarding DISH Network’s future prospects. Second Quarter Highlights Total revenue increased 9.1% year over year to $3.17 billion and exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.12 billion. Second quarter earnings of $257 million or 57 cents per share were higher than $63 million, or 14 cents reported in the year-ago quarter. Quarterly earnings also came in well ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 53 cents. DISH Network lost approximately 19,000 net subscribers, ending the quarter with approximately 14.32 million subscribers. This was primary due to increased competitive pressure, which negatively impacted both ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony Daltorio, Investment U Research Thursday, July 22, 2010 AT&#38;T (NYSE: T) and its shareholders have it pretty rough these days. With shares down about 12% since January, the future does not look bright. The company did enjoy acquisition-fueled growth over much of the past decade. But revenue fell last year and it expects only flat sales of $123 billion for 2010. Added to its list of woes, AT&#38;T won’t be able to count on its exclusive contract with Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) for much longer. Since its debut in 2007, consumers who buy the iPhone have had to accept AT&#38;T with it. That deal sent the network’s revenues up 43% since then, and subscriber figures up 40%. As for profits? They’re up 200%. But, within the year, Verizon (NYSE: ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Verizon Communications (VZ) will offer free one month FiOS Internet and television subscription to its customers. The company will not charge any fees if customers terminate their services after a month. Verizon expects the new offer to be attractive for customers, given the uncertainty surrounding the economy. Verizon spends around $1,350 to install FiOS Internet and television services. Thus, if customers terminate their services after a month, Verizon has to bear a loss. Alternatively, Verizon’s competitive position will increase if customers continue their services. The new offer will create pressure on cable rivals &#8211; Comcast Corp. (CMCSA) and Cablevision Systems Corp. (CVC) and satellite rivals – DirecTV (DTV) and DISH Network Corp. (DISH). At the end of the first quarter 2010, Verizon added 168,000 and 185,000 new customers for its FiOS TV ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We downgrade our recommendation for DIRECTV (DTV) to Neutral, which means the stock will perform mostly in line with the broader market. The company is facing both intra-industry threat as well as inter-industry threat. Ongoing global economic downturn negatively impacted the pay-TV industry. Furthermore, the penetration of pay-TV households approaches 90% in the U.S., leaving very thin opportunity for significant future growth. The DBS (direct broadcast satellite) operators are facing increasing competition from the cable operators. The cable service providers have the technical advantage of being able to offer the ‘triple play’ package of VOD (video-on-demand), local HD (high-definition video), high-speed Internet access and telephony. The DBS firms including DIRECTV cannot provide VOD, Internet access or telephony because their platforms lack two-way interactivity (no uplink). Within the satellite TV industry, ]]></description>

The company had reported a loss of 4 cents per share in the fourth quarter of 2009 due to higher R&#38;D and litigation expenses.

		<description><![CDATA[Earnings estimates for DISH Network Inc. (DISH) are on the rise following the company’s encouraging financial results for fourth quarter 2009 with significant growth in net subscriber additions. Fourth quarter EPS of 40 cents was above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 33 cents. Quarterly total revenue also increased 1.4% to $2.96 billion, from $2.92 billion in the year-ago period. DISH is the second largest satellite TV provider in the U.S. after DIRECT TV (DTV) and the third largest pay-TV provider after Comcast Corp. (CMCSA) and DIRECT TV. The global economic downturn has negatively impacted the pay-TV industry in the last couple of years. Furthermore, the penetration of pay-TV households approaches 90% in the U.S., leaving little room for any significant future growth. Under this challenging scenario, DISH was able to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TiVo Inc. (TIVO) soared 61.9% (or $6.32) and closed at $16.53 yesterday and rose another 3.99% (or 66 cents) after hours following the company’s announcement of a favorable ruling for the third time in a long running patent infringement dispute (since 2004) against EchoStar Communications Corp. (SATS), the parent company of Dish Network Corp. (DISH). The satellite television provider TiVo is a pioneer in digital video recording (DVR) technology. Under the 5-year multimedia patent infringement, TiVo has been awarded a $300 million ($100 million in damages and $200 million in contempt sanctions) by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in the Eastern District of Texas, upholding the lower court ruling in TiVo&#8217;s favor. The court’s decision recognizes the value of TiVo&#8217;s intellectual property and provides incentive for ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TiVo Inc. (TIVO), a leading provider of technology and services for DVRs, offers a subscription-based service that enables consumers to record, watch and control live television. The inconsistency in results, lack of profitability, falling revenue and margins and conservative guidance indicates that the stock will perform below the market. With falling margins, we do not expect the company to become profitable in the next several quarters. With negative earnings and falling revenues, we initiate the stock at Underperform. TiVo’s third-quarter results fell substantially from the prior-year quarter and missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Despite an improving spending environment, the company provided lower-than-expected guidance. Management expects a higher net loss in the range of $13 million to $15 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 due to higher R&#38;D and litigation ]]></description>

With the industry beginning to set the necessary standards to support the technology, movies, games, Blueray disc players and Sony ADR (NYSE: SNE) PS3 consoles could hit store shelves by the middle of this year… all equipped with 3D capabilities. Meanwhile, with recent smash-hit Avatar’s success burned in their memories, content creators, distributors, consumer electronics manufacturers and Hollywood studios have all expressed serious interest in wowing their own audiences. Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) and DreamWorks Animation (Nasdaq: DWA) have promised 3D copies of all their future animated titles.

		<description><![CDATA[In a major move, the US telecom regulator Federal Communications Commission (“FCC&#8221;) recently voted for the elimination of the so-called “Terrestrial Loophole&#8221; regulation that so far allowed cable operators to block competitors’ access to some popular video programming. The FCC voted 4-to-1 for abolishing the rule under the regulator’s Cable Act of 1992. The opposing vote came from a Republican member of the FCC. The laissez-faire Terrestrial Loophole regulation enabled cable companies to deny competitors (such as telecom and satellite TV operators) access to specific must-see entertainment programs which they own. Until now, FCC’s Cable Act prevented cable operators from blocking competitor access to video programming that are aired over satellite networks. However, the law allowed them to block video content being delivered over a terrestrial (land-based) fiber connection. FCC&#8217;s ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the expiry of the earlier contract at midnight Dec 31, Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC) forged a new programming deal with News Corp. (NWSA) to continue broadcasting hit programs from the Fox Broadcast Network, ending a series of public spat that threatened to deny customers of their favorite TV shows. Although the terms of the deal were not divulged by the companies, both agreed that a fair agreement was reached to avoid any disruption in programming. The deal benefited over 13 million households with uninterrupted programs from Fox Television Stations, Fox Broadcasting, Fox Cable Networks and Fox’s regional sports networks, and also included carriage agreements for Bright House Networks’ 2 million additional subscribers. Both Time Warner Cable and Fox had much at stake if a timely solution was not ]]></description>
