Suddenly (when I checked 2 days ago) CenturyLink now had DirecTV instead of Dish Network.

Today I look again and it mentions Prism (but only in certain states, and Florida wasn't one of them). No mention of DirecTV or Dish Network. Not many details at all, says to call, which I will tomorrow.

Also says Qwest and CenturyLink may merge. Who knows what that will bring?

I can't keep up. Has anyone who has Dish or DirecTV with CenturyLink gotten any notices about anything?
Century Link will grandfather you in with Dish. We dropped Dish for Direct TV yesterday as we want HD without paying an upgrade fee. We can still put it on vacation mode when not there. I just called Direct TV. I'll get 2 bills instead of one.
