In addition, in the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into transactions with related parties as discussed below.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"><i>Liberty</i> <i>Media, Liberty Global and Discovery Communications</i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">As a result of Liberty Media’s acquisition of an ownership interest in The DIRECTV Group, beginning February 27, 2008, transactions with Liberty Media and its affiliates, including its equity method investees, may be considered to be related party transactions as Liberty Media currently owns approximately 57% of our outstanding common stock. Our transactions with Liberty Media and its affiliates consist primarily of the purchase of programming.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">In addition, John Malone, Chairman of the Board of Directors of The DIRECTV Group and of Liberty Media, has, as reported in their respective public filings, an approximate 31% voting interest in Discovery Communications, Inc., or Discovery Communications, and an approximate 40% voting interest in Liberty Global Inc., or Liberty Global, and serves as Chairman of Liberty Global, and certain of Liberty Media’s management and directors also serve as directors of Discovery Communications or Liberty Global. As a result of this common ownership and management, transactions with Discovery Communications and Liberty Global, and their subsidiaries or equity method investees may be considered to be related party transactions. Our transactions with Discovery Communications and Liberty Global consist primarily of purchases of programming created, owned or distributed by Discovery Communications and its subsidiaries and investees.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"><i>News Corporation and affiliates</i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">News Corporation and its affiliates were considered related parties until February 27, 2008, when News Corporation transferred its 41% interest in our common stock to Liberty Media. Accordingly, the following contractual arrangements with News Corporation and its affiliates were considered related party transactions and reported through February 27, 2008: purchase of programming, products and advertising; license of certain intellectual property, including patents; purchase of system access products, set-top receiver software and support services; sale of advertising space; purchase of employee services; and use of facilities.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">As discussed above in Note 6, during the first quarter of 2008, we received a $160 million cash capital contribution, which we recorded as “Additional paid-in-capital” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"><i>Other</i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Other related parties include Globo, which provides programming and advertising to Sky Brazil, and companies in which we hold equity method investments, including Sky Mexico.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">The majority of payments under contractual arrangements with related parties are pursuant to multi-year programming contracts. Payments under these contracts are typically subject to annual rate increases and are based on the number of subscribers receiving the related programming.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt;
