Well, this is interesting [to me at least].Today's mail includes USPS from TES of a DTS trailer disc (for 2 Aug 2002). It's against our Technicolor marketting account, and shipped to that address and addressee rather than as DTS trailer discs usually come (from DTS).
Is DTS changing trailer disc distribution to be outsourced to TES and against TES account numbers? Or is something else going on here?

(who feels odd to be the first person to notice these random
TES changes...)

We got our weekly discs in via box yesterday or the say before. If I'm not mistaken they hada poster in the box as well. Normally, I get the discs in via USPS Priority. Maybe this has to do with the whole depot return/delivery hiatus we all seems to be in now. (ARS labels and such)
Karen shoudl be able to clear this up.

Yeah same here. What was really strange is that we only have 1 DTS house in our 8 screen complex (the rest are DD), but we were sent 8 DTS disks. Seems like a waste.

Note, Jason, that previously DTS discs came from DTS ("supposedly"), with no reference to TES accounts. Now they come referencing a TES account number.John, I'll bet that your TES account has 8 screens associated with it (click on "Account Information" on exhibitor.technicolor.com) and so you get 8 sets of discs. I suppose they'll figure out how to refine the system to avoid that...

I'm sure that's the case, but I hope they are able to work the kinks out of the system. I feel bad just throwing 7 disks in the trash.

Use 'em for coasters, and use the cases to replace cracked cases in your CD collection!

Trailer discs don't come in cases, they come in envelopes.

There are also some of us out there that use the trailor disks. I'd be happy to absorb any extra or old disks.
