DirecTV Brazil ended 2002 with roughly the same number of subscribers as it had at the end of the third quarter, i.e. some 432,000. This compares with 470,000 in 2000 and 457,000 in 2001. Thus its subscriber base shrank just over 5% last year and about 10% in the last two years. DirecTV Latin America ended 2002 with 1.58 million subscribers, down from 1.61milion a year earlier.
