I have been trying to find out where I can buy Season 2 of PD TV ever since Mas Ayoob told me it had just been released. It doesn't appear to be sold through the Outdoor Channel, so any suggestions?
You can get Season Two of PDTV here.

By the way, PDTV this fall will be on Sportsman Channel, Pursuit Channel, and Fox Sports SW. (At least, I think it's the SW package.)

Thank you! I'll order it right now. ~el
Out and About DVD
I received a direct mail piece about a new Personal Defense TV DVD: Out and About. It looks to me like a repackage of Seasons 1 and 2. Since I already own these, does anyone (Tom?) know if the new DVD offer any new material? BTW, after 3 seasons of PDTV, I think it's time for an "outtakes" DVD.
Thanks for any input.

I watched PDTV on the Pursuit Channel (DirectTv channel 608) last Thursday at 9:00 p.m. CST. Just stumbled across it.

I have written several times to DirectTV to try to convince them to carry the Sportsman's Channel. No luck so far. If anyone else wants to try to apply some heat, they may eventually pay attention to their subscribers...especially if Intermedia is in discussions with them.

Looks like it will happen in January.

I've been wondering where PDTV went. Too bad none of these programs are on DISH except Fox Sports South and I'd have to upgrade to get it.
I applaud intermedia for burning bridges rather than just expanding to other stations IN ADDITION to the outdoor channel and expanding their viewer base. Dilrods; I hope they tank.

I don't know about burning bridges, but there were other forces at work. For one thing, Intermedia Outdoors was in talks with the Outdoor Channel to BUY that channel, at the same time that other Intermedia folks were negotiating with TOC about the contracts for all the IMO shows. Probably more things going on than we'll ever know, but at some point the calendar says it's time to lock down your distribution for your shows.
You have to have a network to run them on -- otherwise, the advertisers get kinda testy.
So, unable to reach an agreement, and with time having run out, IMO made a decision that they probably didn't really want to make, but they had to get the shows committed to some distribution (networks) for the coming year.
It also forced IMO to put a full effort into building Sportsman Channel. With the "mother ship" drifting off, IMO had to build SC.
Looks like that's happening, too. It does take a long time to make those things happen. Lots of money and lots of egos at that level.
We are making some fun changes to PDTV for the taping we'll be doing this year.
And . . . I'm in the process of creating a new TV series which we plan to air beginning next summer. Not an IMO production. Details in a few months.
