SATELLITE DEVELOPMENTS

        On May 22, 2005, DIRECTV U.S. successfully launched DIRECTV 8. DIRECTV 8 is a Ku/Ka-band hybrid satellite that supplements our existing fleet of satellites and has taken the place of an older satellite.

        On April 26, 2005, DIRECTV U.S. successfully launched SPACEWAY 1. SPACEWAY 1 is the first of four Ka-band satellites that will enable us to broadcast local high-definition, or HD, channels into several of the nation's largest markets. We expect to launch SPACEWAY 2, also a Ka-band satellite, in November 2005.
