My family and I are so grateful for the three digital DPTV channels! We will not subscribe to cable TV, so count on over-the-air signals for television viewing. When we installed our HDTV, we were absolutely delighted to find the extra PBS channels! We can always count on something good to watch on CREATE or the HD channel. Furthermore, when my siblings wanted to purchase cable TV for my mother (against her wishes), I encouraged the purchase of an HDTV instead so that she could enjoy all three DPTV channels. My mother loves her "new channels" more than her new TV! THANK YOU, DPTV! Cathy Coughlin, Grosse Pointe Woods
