ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

We are filing this current report on Form 8-K to set forth audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2006, which reflect our change in accounting policy with respect to our recognition of hardware costs in our bundled sales programs as previously disclosed in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending April 30, 2006, as filed with the SEC on June 9, 2006.

As previously disclosed, effective February 1, 2006, we changed our method of accounting for the recognition of hardware costs in bundled sales programs where the customer prepays the arrangement fee. Previously, to the extent that the cost of the DVR exceeded the revenue allocated to the DVR, the excess costs were deferred and amortized over the period of the subscription. In this prepayment plan, we received the cash upfront from consumers, which allowed us to elect deferral of hardware costs over the service period. We now expense all hardware costs upon shipment of the DVR.

We are presenting our audited adjusted consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2006 to reflect the fact that we now expense all hardware costs upon shipment of the DVR. The provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” require that all elective accounting changes be made on a retrospective basis. The effect of the adjustment represents a $2.6 million increase to our previously reported net loss for the year ended January 31, 2006. As a result of the foregoing, the audited consolidated financial statements, Note 2 “Summary of Significant Account Policies”, and Note 14 “Income Taxes” to the consolidated financial statements for the three years ended January 31, 2006, have been updated. Additionally, we have added Note 2A “Change in Accounting Policy”. Also, there is no effect to our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended January 31, 2005 and 2004.

In addition, we have provided herein an adjusted table of selected financial data reflecting the above accounting change and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and our results of operations, which we believe may be helpful to the investor in reviewing these revised/adjusted financial statements.

Except as described above, the information presented in this current report on Form 8-K does not include any adjustments or updates to any information presented in our consolidated financial statements or elsewhere in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2006, which was originally filed on April 14, 2006.
