7/14/07 - St. Louis-based HDTV antenna manufacturer Terrestrial Digital is finally starting to breathe a sigh of relief. The PF7, the companys HDTV antenna disguised as a picture frame, is now back in stock at antennasdirect.com after three months of record breaking sales.
The company had the best type of problem on their hands beginning in December of last year. The PF7 was featured on NBCs The Today Show, alongside big screen HDTVs, the Nintendo Wii and Sonys Playstation 3, as one of the best gadget gifts for guys. The problem? Within hours of the program airing, demand went above and beyond supply. It even went beyond the product orders they had placed in anticipation of the buzz.
Its a little bit surreal to see Matt Lauer and one of the Senior Editors at CNet.com talking about your product on national television, Terrestrial Digital President Richard Schneider said.
