Hava to partner with DirecTV and AT&TCompetitors of Dish are scrambling to figure out what to do now that the SlingLoaded 922 has hit.  While every major company offers a DVR, there’s only one that can placeshift without additional hardware and that’s Echostar’s Dish.

Hava, a Slingbox competitor, told Gadgetell that they were working with major companies like AT&T and DirecTV.  Both companies have given positive feedback on Hava’s products.  The two companies need to deploy a service like Dish has in order to remain competitive. 

The television service business has been extremely competitive in the past several years with the widespread acceptance of satellite as a legitimate alternative to cable and the entry of telecoms like Verizon and AT&T in the market.  For the most part, the consumer has benefited with the companies cutting prices and offering so many different service packages.

  • That is so uncool.  I am a DirecTV customer and if Dish Network shuts down then DirecTV won’t treat its customers as well.
