At 4:29 PM EST DIRECTV put out a a memo to its distributors asking them to hold off on all shipments till 9/13.
Our distributor had already released and packed 30 HR20's from The FL Branch when they were asked to re-stock the HR20s. The balance of our large allocation has already been scheduled for delivery tomorrow morning at 10:30 AM. As of this moment they can not be shipped either.
I'm not sure if we will be able to ship sooner, but by Tuesday, 9/5/06, all 12 of our fullfillment branches will be stocked and ready to ship.
Any and all charges that were made were fully refunded immediately at 4:30 PM EST today. So if you see a charge the credit will also be posted hopefully on the next line item of your credit card statement, but certainly on the same statement.
Sorry about this false alarm, everything was going ahead of schedule till the last moment of the UPS pick-up.
If we are not permitted to ship earlier than 9/13 at least our nationwide 12 warehouse simultaneous distribution will ensure the fastest possible in-hand date to all of our customers.
I assume one of the reasons for this small delay is to give engineering time to enable more features for us to download upon activation.
