Welcome to the Practical HT Guide Update.

Unfortunately, this issue is  a little bit late than usual in that we normally try to publish our e-zine by the beginning of the second week of the month - but at times, the unforeseen happen - and that's normal!

We did not manage to start with the planned site maintenance as originally planned, but in the meantime, we have concluded a lot of work on our site.

Recent Additions:

We have finalized a new section that covers the subject of Satellite Television.

Satellite TV is delivering entertainment and excitement to millions across the US through hundreds of TV channels packed with sporting events, latest news and classic action movies.  We therefore thought of covering this subject in substantial detail.

Items discussed under this section include:

• The availability of satellite HDTV services, satellite TV installation, antenna tuning, and receiver choice.

• We have also included a comprehensive Satellite TV Glossary of terms and acronyms.

• We also take a look at the present 'free' offers for satellite TV services first time customers from DISH Network and DirecTV.

We also plan to hopefully start including RSS feeds; we believe that these should provide added value to our readers.

Stay tuned ! 

In the meantime, we wish you all...
