Official Press Release -

National Programming Service's Right to Sell Distant Network Programming Upheld by Federal Court of Appeals

July 7,2008 - INDIANAPOLIS - In a unanimous opinion issued today, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Indianapolis-based National Programming Service (NPS), LLC's right to lease satellite equipment from EchoStar Communications Corporation (EchoStar) and retransmit distant network programming under the Satellite Home Viewer's Act (SHVA).

The SHVA permits satellite carriers, such as NPS, a compulsory, statutory license to engage in secondary transmissions (or retransmissions) of copyrighted distant network programming to so-called "unserved households"-households that are unable to receive network programming at a specified level of intensity through the use of conventional rooftop antennas.

"We are extraordinarily pleased with the ruling," said Michael Mountford, chief executive officer of NPS. "We believe the Court's opinion vindicates our legitimate right to engage in the secondary transmission market."

NPS has 104 employees and retransmits distant networking programming to over 110,000 unserved households nationwide.

This case dates back to the 1990s when EchoStar began providing satellite television programming to subscribers under the DISH NETWORK brand. In 1998, various television networks including-CBS, ABC, Fox and NBC-and their network affiliates, sued EchoStar in Florida federal court claiming the company was improperly providing distant network programming to served-as opposed to unserved-households. Eventually, an injunction was entered in 2006 that prevented EchoStar from providing distant network programming under the SHVA's statutory license.

"There are public policy implications in today's ruling," explains Todd Vare, a partner in Barnes & Thornburg LLP's Intellectual Property Department, who argued on behalf of NPS. "If the court had ruled against NPS, the only distant network programming option for unserved households would have been DirecTV, thus creating a monopoly in this industry sector," added Vare.

NPS, an Indianapolis company that has been in the business of providing satellite services through C-band satellites since 1983, approached EchoStar in 2006 to inquire about leasing its satellite equipment. A deal was reached, which enabled NPS to use EchoStar's satellite transponder to retransmit distant network programming to unserved households who signed up with NPS.

The networks then accused NPS of violating the previously entered injunction against EchoStar. The Florida federal court sided with NPS, and the networks appealed. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals also sided with NPS.

NPS is privately owned by Mike Mountford and Jon Pardieck. It does business under the trade name All American Direct.com. In addition to the satellite businesses All American Direct.com is an e-commerce retailer offering a wide variety of consumer products including TV's, Cell phones, Internet and related products.

DISH Network Offers ‘DishFAMILY’ Programming Tier, Providing Parents with Worry-Free TV

Low Cost Package Furthers DISH Network’s Standing as Lowest-Priced All Digital TV Provider in Nation

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.—Feb. 1, 2006 – EchoStar Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: DISH) and its DISH Network™ satellite TV service now offers “DishFAMILY,” a new “family-friendly” programming package with 40 channels. At $19.99 per month, DishFAMILY is not only the lowest priced “family programming” package available, it is also the lowest priced all digital TV package in America. Now with four primary programming tiers, DISH Network customers have even more choices.

According to PEW Research Center, 75 percent of 1,505 adults polled in 2005 favor tighter enforcement of government rules on TV content during hours when children are most likely to be watching television. The DishFAMILY package meets parents’ needs by ensuring that children are watching content that is appropriate while also offering channel choices for everyone in the family such as sports, news, children’s programming, lifestyle, hobbies, shopping and public interest. With DishFAMILY, customers will get valuable, family-sensitive content at the low price of $19.99 per month ($24.99 per month with local channels). This is an approximate $12 savings over the average cable company family tier.

Other pay-TV providers have introduced “family” packages but with fewer channels and with a requirement that customers must purchase the family package along with a basic cable package that may be inappropriate for family viewing. DISH Network offers DishFAMILY as a stand alone package and with a robust family channel lineup. In addition, DishFAMILY is available with a free satellite TV receiver and free professional installation for up to four rooms.

"Since kids are spending an average of four hours watching television each day, we believe that it is important to provide content that is appropriate for viewing by all family members regardless of their age,” said Eric Sahl, senior vice president of Programming for DISH Network. “Our DishFAMILY package offers programming that includes popular children's, religious and general family entertainment programming. We have responded to the concerns of parents and policymakers and designed a worry-free TV package to meet the needs of all DISH Network families."

“DishFAMILY” channel lineup will include the following:

DISH Network, an advocate of family viewing protections, has been a pioneer in advanced parental control technology available to customers at no additional cost. DISH Network’s extensive parental controls include password protection, lock-by-ratings and extended ratings, system and channel locks, and DISH Network’s own Adult Guard and Hide Adult Programming features, which when activated remove adult content and channel descriptions from that specific customer’s program guide. Also, for customers who subscribe to DishFAMILY the “Hide Adult Programming” feature will automatically be enabled on receivers, blocking certain adult channels and their content descriptions from the program guide.

With the addition of DishFAMILY, DISH Network now offers four primary programming tiers: DishFAMILY, America’s Top 60, America’s Top 120 and America’s Top 180. DISH Network also offers Spanish-language, international and high definition TV packages.
