For the uninitiated, Aaron and I used to work at Hughes Network Systems, a sister company to DirecTV under the Hughes Electronics umbrella.

That would mean Dish would be the only digital TV provider unable to offer fast-forwarding of TV, a situation that Bernstein's Moffett describes as a "death sentence."
