HDNET CONCERT SERIES PRESENTS "SHERYL CROW: C'MON AMERICA 2003" PREMIERING APRIL 25, 9:00 PM ET  The HDNet Concert Series presents "Sheryl Crow: C'Mon America 2003." Shot outdoors in spectacular 1080i high definition, Crow performs for more than 5,000 fans in Dayton, Ohio. Crow plays her classics including "All I Wanna Do," "My Favorite Mistake," "Leaving Las Vegas," "Soak Up the Sun," and "Steve McQueen," among others. Sheryl Crow's greatest hits CD "The Very Best of Sheryl Crow," released in November 2003, has been in the billboard top 20 for the past 20 weeks and in the top 10 for most of that time, and is approaching triple platinum status.  Premieres Sunday, April 25, 2004 at 9:00 p.m. ET Check the HDNet programming schedule at www.hd.net for encore presentations.  Sheryl Crow's fresh, updated spin on classic roots rock made her one of the most popular mainstream rockers of the '90s. Her albums were loose and eclectic on the surface, yet were generally tied together by polished, professional songcraft. Crow's sunny, good-time rockers and world-weary ballads were radio staples for much of the '90s, and she was a perennial favorite at Grammy time, raking in a total of 9 in the past 8 years. HDNet, co-founded by Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Phil Garvin of Colorado Studios, is the leader in high definition broadcasting.  The HDNet networks are available on Adelphia Communications, Charter Communications, DIRECTV, DISH Network, Time Warner Cable and several NCTC affiliate member companies.

Director Steven Spielberg and star Tom Cruise form a superstar team in this fantastic futuristic tale about a cop who turns fugitive after the crime-forecasting unit in which he works predicts he will commit a murder. John Anderton (Cruise) is the Chief of "Pre-Crime," a police division that taps into the brains of three pre-cognitive humans (pre-cogs) to predict and stop deadly crimes before they happen. The result is a society that hasn't had a murder in six years, but when the pre-cogs deliver a shocking prediction--that Anderton will kill a man--the stunned cop must run for his life while trying to prove the prognostication is wrong. Colin Farrell (Phone Booth), Samantha Morton (Sweet and Lowdown) and Max von Sydow (The Exorcist) co-star. Written by Scott Frank and Jon Cohen; based on a short story by Philip K. Dick (Blade Runner). "A triumph...four stars" (Roger Ebert).
