Re: Louis Vuitton Cop 2002 to determine Americas Cup Challenger

Chris and Bob,

I just made arrangements to get the DirecTV basic package plus local
programming and OLN has been added to the basic package at no additional
cost. Monthly charge is 39.99 and I pay 15.92 upon installation next
Wednesday for one TV receiver. I was going to get it for two receivers so I
could watch the races late at night in bed but my wife put her foot down!
Actually she kicked me so it came up!!!! Thanks for the help. I hope this
exchange helps some other skippers.
