I don't see any reason why DirecTV would want to do such a thing. Just think of all the high end customers DirecTV would steal away from the Cable companies if they made it easy to switch and didn't introduce a false barrier to entry. People who build their own system only want local channels, and aren't interested in a lot of high margin premium content. This is destined to fail.
And there's no sarcasm in this post whatsoever. None, and I'm saying this in my no sarcasm voice.
