HDTV a boon to DBS
Article Abstract:
The launch of HDTV will encourage people to get their local programming through off-air antennas and provide high definition television broadcast that extends beyond network market roll-out boundaries. By leasing transponder space from DirectTv, US Satellite Broadcasting will soon be able to provide HBO HDTV programming. Later in 1998, the company will preview the high-definition content in retail showrooms. Meanwhile, EchoStar will also deliver one to two feeds of HBO high definition programming, as well as local HDTV broadcasting in 1999.
