Update On Proposed Acquisition of OpenTV by Tripp Levy PLLC

NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tripp Levy PLLC announces an
investigation into the proposed acquisition of OpenTV Corp. (Nasdaq:OPTV). On
October 5, 2009, The Kudelski Group announced that it has commenced a tender
offer to acquire all of the outstanding Class A shares of common stock of OPTV
that it does not currently own for $1.55 per share in cash. Kudelski and its
subsidiaries own approx. 13.4% of OPTV's Class A shares and 100% of OPTV's Class
B shares, which together represent approx. 32.3% of the outstanding shares of
OPTV and 77.2% of the voting power of OPTV shares. Kudelski said that the offer
is not conditioned on a minimum number of Class A shares being tendered, nor
does the offer required OPTV board approval.

The investigation concerns whether the consideration to be paid to OPTV
shareholders is grossly unfair, inadequate, and substantially below the fair or
inherent value of ORH. The investigation further concerns whether Kudelski as
well as certain members of OPTV, may have breached their fiduciary duties by not
acting in OPTV shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process
of OPTV.

If you are a current holder of OPTV and would like additional information
