Errata for this article

Correction for page 148
Due to an error in the editorial process, the article "Digital TV On The Cheap" in MAKE Vol 05 incorrectly implied that Voom HD Networks was no longer in business. The article should have stated only that their direct-to-home satellite broadcast service was discontinued. More information is available from www.voom.com In the same article, discussion of cable-based HDTV service should have noted that the availabilty and charges for this service will vary with individual cable companies. Subscribers should check with their cable companies for specific information pertinent to them.
