Transiting DVD Pilot

Thanks to everyone who’s completed the initial interest survey so far! We have just shy of 50,000 DVDs committed as of this morning! I am working with our shipping case vendor and should have target dates out to you shortly. The survey will stay open until the end of the month if you need a bit more time to determine if you wish to participate!
