Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included

<b><i>New Accounting Pronouncements:</i></b>  On
January 1, 2011, the September 2009 Emerging Issues Task
Force updates to the <i>Revenue Recognition </i>topic of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards
Codification, or Codification, rules became effective, which
change the accounting for certain revenue arrangements. The new
requirements change the allocation methods used in determining
how to account for multiple element arrangements and may result
in the ability to separately account for more deliverables, and
potentially less revenue deferrals. Additionally, this new
accounting treatment requires enhanced disclosures in financial
statements. This new accounting treatment will impact any new
contracts entered into by LiveTV, as well as any loyalty program
or commercial partnership arrangements we may enter into or
materially modify. Since adoption of this new accounting
treatment, we have not had any new or modified contracts.
