Welcome New Readers
PRIME TIME GRID

With the addition of new channels, such as INHD and INHD2, you will find the "channel selector" below more and more useful in guiding you to those services you are able to receive. This will help you bypass tiresome scrolling. By clicking on the "Return To Top" you will be returned to this area in preparation for your next selection.

By tomorrow I will have activated all of the links here to the signal providers

	Dear Readers: Several have written in saying they liked the grid guide and to them it was even preferable to this version. But that is three out of 6000. I have been considering making this a lower costing standalone product extended to a 24 hour period serving three time zones. But the cost for doing that is not inconsiderate. I believe two full time people would be required. That has to be at least $100,000/yr cost to HDTV Magazine after it is all said and done. But we are gaining some fame and the web site is being approached by as many as 50,000 new people a day. If we had something on the order of a $5/annual charge for web or email access to the grid guide it may well be that some of those 50,000 would join us. Price would not be a barrier. I see several ways of keeping the same graphical sense about, in fact even more attractive. Of course, if you learn to navigate with this guide you have quite quick access to all of your programming without the hassle of scrolling. Did you know that by clicking on the network icons at the top that will take you to the network banner and their programming? If you click on the network banner your are instantly returned to the "channel selector." It is a fast and efficient system. Still, if there is enough support showing for the Grid Guide I will take the steps to insure it can be done. While I would include the Grid Guide with our annual members it is a new product and so I would like to charge the nominal fee to those that were in the 'lifetime for one charge' group. Let me know if you are interested in this grid guide enough so to launch its initial support. I personally think it is a winner. Thank you, Dale
