Open to legal U.S. residents who are 18 years of age or older at time of entry and have Internet access as of December 25, 2007. Employees, officers and directors of Discovery Communications, LLC, (the “Sponsor”), Promotion Mechanics, Inc. (“Promotion Administrator”), their parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, TV production partners, advertising agencies, promotional suppliers and the immediate family members (spouses and parents, children and siblings and their spouses, regardless of where they live) or members of the same households (whether related or not) of such employees, officers and directors (collectively, “Sweepstakes Entities”) are not eligible. All applicable federal, state, and local rules apply. Void in Puerto Rico and where prohibited or restricted by law.
2. TO ENTER:
The Discovery Channel Sneak Peek Week Sweepstakes (“Sweepstakes”) begins at 12:01 AM Eastern Time (“ET”) on December 26, 2007 and ends at 11:59 PM ET on January 1, 2008 (“Sweepstakes Period”). To enter, visit www.discovery.com/sneakpeek, access the Sweepstakes entry page, provide the information requested and submit your entry so that it is received by Sponsor’s server by 11:59 PM ET on January 1, 2007. There is a limit of one online entry per person/email address per day.
Those individuals who have previously agreed to receive email notices from Discovery Channel will be sent an email which will provide a way for them to receive one Bonus entry into the Sweepstakes (up to a maximum of five Bonus entries) for each friend they refer by providing a valid email address for each referred friend. The referred friends will then receive a one-time notice about the Discovery Channel Sneak Peek Week Sweepstakes. Sponsor will not save the email addresses of the referred friends, unless such referred friends enter the Sweepstakes. Referred friends must be legal U.S. residents 18 years of age or older and should be personally known to the referrer. It is recommended that you obtain each friend’s consent prior to the referral. Those who choose to refer a friend must themselves register for the Sweepstakes in order to be credited with their Bonus entries. To receive Bonus entries into the Sweepstakes without referring a friend, hand print your name, complete address, telephone number, date of birth, email address and cable/satellite provider (if any) on a 3”x5” piece of paper and mail it to: Discovery Channel Sneak Peek Week Sweepstakes, PMI Station, PO Box 3545, Southbury, CT 06488-3545. Mail-in entries must be postmarked by January 2, 2008 and received by January 7, 2008. Each mail-in entry will provide one Bonus entry, up to a maximum of five Bonus entries. There is a limit of either five refer-a-friend entries or five mail-in entries per person.
By entering, participants warrant and represent that they agree to be bound by these Official Rules and the final decision of the Sponsor and Promotion Administrator.
3. RANDOM DRAWINGS:
On or about January 15, 2008, Promotion Mechanics, Inc., an independent judging organization, will conduct a random drawing from among all eligible entries received to award seven (7) Grand Prizes, each a 42” Samsung Widescreen HD Plasma TV valued at approximately $1,099.
Odds of winning will be determined by the number of eligible entries received. Winners will be notified by phone, email, postal mail and/or express mail at Sponsor’s sole discretion. Inability to contact a winner or the return of any prize notification as undeliverable will result in the prize being forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner.

Any prize won by a minor (defined as an entrant who has not yet reached the age of majority in his/her jurisdiction of residence) will be awarded to that minor’s parent or legal guardian (“Parent”), who must fulfill all obligations for winners as set forth in these Official rules, or such prize will be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner.
