TVU Networks Delivers Global Television to HP Consumer Notebook PC Users

Mountain View, CA – September 5, 2007 - TVU Networks, a live Internet TV broadcast service, today announced plans to make its live internet television service available on HP consumer notebook PCs. TVU Networks will be enabling users to view live television from anywhere there is internet access while traveling around the world.

To date, TVUPlayer has been downloaded 8 million times by viewers in over 200 countries, who can now watch free live TV programs from around the world, including mainstream programs not broadcast on current cable and satellite services, as well as niche programming content currently available only by subscription or on private networks.  TVU Networks' can be accessed by HP notebook users easily through HP's QuickPlay entertainment program, which gives users one-touch access to their entire media portfolio.  TVU Networks will be available on select HP consumer notebooks with Vista via a web update which is planned for later this year.

"TVUPlayer provides high-quality, ubiquitous accessibility of broadband content anywhere, anytime," states Paul Shen, CEO of TVU Networks. "By offering HP consumer notebook PC users easy access to this service, we are able to provide high-quality television viewing options to a large group of tech-savvy PC users."

TVUPlayer offers broadcasters and content owners a way to reach global audiences without incurring the prohibitive costs associated with traditional content distribution methods. Additionally, advertisers have access to an expanded audience, through a growing number of up-and-coming US cable channels, as well as top-tier broadcasters from China and Taiwan – all with quantifiable advertising metrics.

The stability and scalability of TVUPlayer is backed by the company's patent-pending Real-time Packet Replication technology (RPR), which enables worldwide delivery of a live TV signal, in up to HD quality, from a single broadband connection.

"This relationship supports HP's entertainment focus by providing expanded content choices for an enhanced customer experience", said Jonathan Kaye, Director of Product Marketing for HP consumer notebooks." With integration into HP's QuickPlay our customers can have global internet television on their notebooks at the touch of a button"
