Ergen Pushes for Copyright/Grade B Changes Speaking before an audience of top-level consultants, analysts and other assorted D.C. pooh bahs attending the Progress and Freedom Foundation's CEO luncheon in the nation's capitol, EchoStar Chairman and CEO Charles W. Ergen hammered home his theme of "fairness" for DBS and consumers in the upcoming SHIVA renewal/digital revolution battles. Current law, Ergen argued, does not offer sufficient incentive for broadcasters to move quickly to all-digital service because an "85-percent loophole" - allowing broadcasters to keep the analog spectrum until 85 percent of U.S. homes have digital televisions capable of receiving digital broadcast service – could mean that over-the-air heads never return the spectrum, thus retaining their hold on a piece of public property "worth billions." Ergen's solution: Said he, "Allow DBS to offer HDTV (broadcast) feeds to all homes where an affiliated broadcaster is not offering digital service." As Ergen pointed out, this would require a change in DBS' existing copyright license plus it would mean that the FCC must establish a new predictive model to determine which households cannot receive a local broadcaster's digital signal. Said Ergen of the current Grade B test for determining a household's ability to receive distant signals: "Will we become a third world country because (we can't change) an old public policy built in the 1950s for an analog universe?"

10:35AM ET/9:35 C Stardust Memories WIDESCREEN OAR UPCONV PG 1h 29m After the critical success of "Manhattan," Woody Allen surprised many admirers with this dark comedy, in which he plays Sandy Bates, a renowned comedy director who, rather than resting on his laurels, dismisses his work as stupid trifles in a world filled with human suffering.

Acting as his guide to the bewildering ways of the city is Ed's savvy and cynical roommate (Kevin Carroll), a ladies' man with an aversion to commitment.

"Crash" Davis (Costner) is an aging minor league pitcher closing in on a season record, as well as the heart of baseball-loving super-fan Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon). Getting in the way of both, however, is lunkheaded phenom "Nuke" Laloosh (Tim Robbins), a talented newcomer bound for the majors and Annie's affections, which are only given to one player each season. 8:00PM ET/7:00 C Too Smooth WIDESCREEN OAR UPCONV Surround / CCAP R 1h 29m Aspiring actor Danny Reilly (Dean Paras) has finally met the girl (Katie Wright) of his dreams, but he can't seem to shake the habit of lying to her - a problem compounded by his vengeful ex (Neve Campbell), his formerly gay roommate (Stefan Brogren), and his encounter with a friendly beauty (Rebecca Gayheart) who may or may not be strictly platonic.

Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle and Albert Brooks costar.
