Satellite companies are in the process of changing over their receive sites to use digital signals as the feeds for their satellite systems. They are proceeding on a market-by-market schedule. Recently, a number of questions have arisen about the process. To answer these questions, the Association for Maximum Service Television (MSTV) will be hosting a webcast with the leading technical teams from DIRECTV and EchoStar on Wednesday, July 16, 2008, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. (EDT).

A copy of the satellite schedule can be found on MSTV's Web site, www.mstv.org, by clicking the satellite coordination link at www.mstv.org/docs/sattransschedule.pdf.

To connect to the webcast, log on to: http://meta.globix.net/m/wm/cdl/wlj-01/COMP008760SCH1_mobilevideo_live2.wvx.

The webcast will be interactive and allow you to email questions to mstv@mstv.org. Access to the webcast is free. Pre-registration is not required. If you have any questions, please call David Donovan at (202) 966-1956.
