No matter though- Directv and Dish Network are definitely, without question, using your internet to deliver On Demand. Your receiver has to be connected to your broadband connection (which is not provided by them).

The talk was originally about cable..not satellite...either way, the traffic is internal and not external, aka they don't have to pay bandwidth costs...it'll be like saying i got wifi and I transfer 3tb a month..
