New HD Package
will Launch July 1 and Include ESPN HD, Discovery HD TheaterTM, HDNet and HDNet Movies

"I called DirecTV around 5:40 (Eastern) this morning (7/103), and had the new HD channels added within 10 minutes. Of course, programming didn't begin until 6am, but all the channels came on as expected. Here's the list of channels:

73 ESPN HD 76 Discovery Theater 79 HD-Net 81 HD-Net Movies 84 HD Special Events 85 HD Pay-Per-View 88 HBO HD (Also still being shown on 509)

I do not subscribe to Showtime, so I don't know what it's new HD channel is. Also, the person I spoke to was unaware of a free trial period, but after having me on hold a few minutes came back and said that I was all set for the free month. It doesn't appear that these poor folks were given much information to work with.

Now I'm really looking forward to getting today's guide to see what's on Discovery Theater tonight... :-)"

I want to make a quick report to let you know that donations have been pouring in all night long and the stream continues. I will have to manually tally but it may be that we are as far as one third to the goal. If the momentum keeps up it will surpass the goal. I hope someone picks up this story because I have never heard of anything quite like this phenomena before. I am sure it is a reflection of the enormous appeal of HDTV. It's power in the market is absolutely awesome because people just don't give up once they have a taste. In talking to folks last night who have been learning the ins and outs of installations I can see how things are starting to clear up there too. It will take a great deal of education, but it is doable, and there are TV networks and stations all over the country needing  to educate their audience on how their signals can be received. I can foresee now a video of instructions that will literally put people into the business of being professional DTV installer at the mass level.

With the consumer side clearly in the emotional lead for this product nothing but good things should result. The market place that finally decides shapes things to their liking. That has to be good for the signal providers, the manufacturers, and retailers alike. I think we will make it here at the Magazine with this tremendous outpouring of your confidence and love. I am sure it is in your heart to see that this transition not only gets done, but acts as a new cultural engine for the world. We do need it.Now I want to get today's issue out to you so I will cut this short.There is some wonderful mail in from you readers last night that I want to post, and will shortly. 

_Dale
