Sorry MGTY....I don't really see the connection you are making. First, DirecTV just dumped carrying Sirius-XM, which was a negative surprise considering the Liberty-SIRI relationship. Second, the broadcast spectrum is totally different via the TV satellites and radio satellites, with bulkier equipment and dish antenna needed to receive the TV signal, whether or not it's only audio. Now, I'm no satellite engineer, so, I suppose it's possible there's a way of using similar design receivers and tiny antennas to receive audio only from the TV satellites, but I don't know that to be fact. If it were possible, then perhaps Liberty could use a portion of its TV sat bandwidth to broadcast sat radio to small receivers, but those radios would have to be new design, since the broadcast frequencies are different than radios used by siri, xm, or worldspace. But, frankly, I don't see any connection whatsover in wrspq de-orbit threat to making room for DirecTV sat radio, no matter what the technology is. There's plenty of room in earth orbit for more sats...they just have to be very well planned out.
