Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
I would also think the approval of the Sirius-XM merger might have something to do with it also. Cable and FIOS, at a minimum, constitute WAY WAY WAY more competition for Dish and DirecTV than does terrestrial radio for XM and Sirius. If that merger was approved, denying a Dish / DirecTV merger is indefensible.
I was thinking the same think when i read this. Would be nice, but i'm sure there will be plenty of lobbiest to make it difficult!
...yeah, lobbyists paid by the various CableTV monopolies...
True guys, but even lobbyists couldn't stop XM-Sirius, try as they might for month after month. I too think XM-Sirius going through is what makes even considering a Dish-DirecTV merger feasible now.
The XM/Sirius merger is a little different than a Dish Network/DirecTV merger. XM and Sirius make their own content, so they can't really monopolize their own content. Satellite TV companies buys the right to use existing channels on their service like Cable TV does. While I don't think it is a monopoly because they do compete with Cable TV, I doubt this would be a good thing for consumers.
