The only really viable acquiror of USSB is Hughes (DirecTV). They both come off the same satellite and use the same technology platform (DSS). One has to remember that once the consumer has purchased a DSS dish and box its only programming providers are DirecTV and USSB; you can't point a DSS dish at a Sky satellite. Assuming that the combined DirecTV/USSB programming package stays competetive (in terms of content and price) with Sky et al, the installed DSS subscriber base of approximately 3 million is a hell of a headstart.
