The 150 channels that they (DS) talk about and the 400 to 500 channels that the cable companies talk about will be mostly be pay-per-view movies that start anywhere from every 5 to 15 minutes, this way they can compete with the video rental stores more effectively, since subscribers won't have to wait a maximum of 2 hours to see a movie. It can be more of a on-demand thing. As far as the stores selling out, just ask them haw many they had in stock when they sold out, if they are honest the answer will be from 5 to 20. They hype it up to make it seem that the consumer demand is much more than it really is. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ
