Called "PNV Anywhere TV," this initiative complements PNV's existing services and is designed to increase subscriptions by capturing 100 percent of the mobile entertainment market. PNV Anywhere TV supports the company's mission of bringing advanced technology and services to the industry regardless of location. "PNV's value proposition is that we connect the trucking industry to what matters -- family, work, friends, and more. By enhancing our core service offering and expanding its availability beyond the truck stop for all of our products, we are truly delivering that value nationwide, regardless of location," said Bob May, President and CEO. Starting today, with the purchase of a satellite dish and receiver and appropriate mounting hardware PNV members will be able to receive PNV's selection of TV programming on the road and/or at home. PNV Anywhere TV programming includes the four major networks, sports, news, weather, 13 Premium movie channels from HBO and Showtime and many more entertainment channels. Programming services start at $40 per month. Customers can either prepay for a year of service or pay a recurring monthly amount. Prices for the hardware vary depending on the payment plan selected. PNV is offering special introductory rates for a limited time. "To be the pre-eminent provider of connectivity, information and services for the trucking industry requires that we understand and fulfill drivers' needs. Drivers spend many hours at fleet terminals or waiting to unload or pick up freight. Drivers have told us they want to be able to take advantage of our services wherever they stop. Now they can enjoy PNV services at those locations as well. PNV Anywhere TV not only delivers what drivers have been asking for, but it also helps to reinforce our position as an irreplaceable partner to drivers," said May. Drivers on the road can utilize PNV's wired network at over 300 truck stops to order special pay per view events.
