    Echostar is only interested in XMSirius for XM (not Sirius') satellites which they can use for their TV service (Sirius's satellites aren't in the right orbit). The question then becomes, after they dump off XM's satellites for Dish Network, do they only use Sirius' which would basically force everyone with an XM radio to buy new radios or do they just abandon sat radio entirely. My guess is they'll just abandon it all for good because A) everyone with XM built into their car is hosed and B) I doubt very few people will spend the money to buy a new radio for a service that no one would know what it would be like. Not to mention if you have 6 month (like me) or longer contracts and they file for bankruptcy, you're out your cash if you recently re-upped because whoever the new owner is doesn't have to honor any past contracts with customers and on air talent (ie good bye Howard, O&A, baseball, football, etc)

    You might not be wrong. Has anyone seen any commercials or any marketing for this show at all? I sure haven't.

    For what ever reason, FOX had a whole ad campaign going with ads in a Grindhouse Style promoting Friday Nights of Dollhouse and Terminator.

     

    I think what will save this show is that a lot people will probably dvr it (I did so I could keep watching Friday the 13th marathon on HD Net), but now Nielsen counts ratings for DVR watching as well so even though live viewing on a friday night ratings will suck, they'll more than likely pick up viewers on the DVR rating..

     

    Or not, if most people decided not to even bother with it since it seems to be a forgone conclusion to be canceled by fox already by most people..though I doubt that myself.
