Digeo(R) Outlines Services Strategy; Announces Alliances With Flickr, Finetune, Accedo and CloverLeaf

New Services Further Enhance the Moxi Multi-Room HD DMR
Entertainment Experience
LAS VEGAS--(Business Wire)--Digeo, Inc., makers of the Emmy(R)-award winning Moxi(R) digital
media recorder (DMR), and recipients of two CEA Innovations 2008
Design and Engineering Honoree awards, today outlined its featured
services strategy and subsequently announced alliances with four
leading content providers: Flickr, Finetune, Accedo Broadband and
CloverLeaf Digital LLC. These new services are the first of many
anticipated content partners and illustrate how the Moxi Menu
seamlessly aggregates and connects several different specialized
services into one cohesive entertainment experience.

While other basic DMRs or media center PCs provide access to
non-broadcast content and services via disparate virtual content
"stores," the Moxi Menu delivers a premium entertainment experience
that integrates all content sources throughout the user interface,
providing consumers with increased exposure and easy access to all
available content. This approach has already proven successful for
premium content offered on Moxi Media Centers deployed through cable
operators. A 2006 Adelphia study demonstrated VOD usage by subscribers
of the Moxi Media Center was more than triple that of ordinary
digital-cable subscribers during a given month. The increase in VOD
uptake is credited to the Moxi Menu's unique seamless integration of
VOD and PPV titles alongside regular programming throughout the guide.

"People are increasingly looking to the TV as a central source for
entertainment," said Mike Fidler, CEO of Digeo. "As the number of
channels and Internet-based content delivery providers grow, consumers
will seek out devices which make navigating the sea of content simple
and intuitive, and we believe the Moxi HD DMR family will stand out as
providing the best entertainment experience possible."

Your Digital Life, All in One Place

Each content partner was chosen not only for its innovative
approach to digital content, but for its overall commitment to ease of
use and ability to aid consumer discovery and enjoyment of new
content. For example, Digeo is collaborating with Flickr, one of the
world's largest online photo sharing communities, to allow users to
easily link their Flickr accounts with the Moxi Multi-Room HD DMR.
This gives consumers easy access to any photo group associated with
their Flickr account - including popular categories from the Flickr
web community and photos uploaded from mobile devices -- in the full
HD resolution(1) in their living room. Now, consumers can access
photos streamed from their PC, stored on Moxi or shared on Flickr all
from the Moxi Photos tab on the Moxi Menu.

Similarly, together with Finetune, a well-known music service,
Digeo has extended the Moxi Music feature by making it possible for
Finetune members to play their customized playlists or personalized
stations from the Moxi Menu. Comprised of about two million tracks,
Finetune also has one of the largest major and indie label libraries
in the industry. Since its launch in September 2006, Finetune has
already counted three-million unique listeners and 600,000 registered
members, adding more than 60,000 new listeners each week. Now, Moxi
users have convenient access to their entire MP3 music library, right
from the Moxi Menu regardless of whether the music lives on the Moxi
hard drive, their laptop or PC, or online at Finetune.

To bring HD casual gaming to the TV, Digeo is partnering with
Accedo Broadband, which specializes in television-centric
entertainment services. Casual gaming has grown dramatically in
popularity over the past few years and is increasingly being embraced
through the television medium. Moxi DMRs already offer classic games
such as solitaire and poker, and with Accedo, Digeo will expand its
offering to include additional HD games such as Sudoku, Texas Hold'em
and QuizzMaster.

Moxi Multi-Room HD DMR will also have a host of new services for
information junkies. In addition to the popular SuperTicker(TM)
feature already in Moxi, CloverLeaf will take advantage of the new HD
Moxi Menu to give users access to full-screen web-based content
designed specifically for TV viewing. This includes news and sports
from Associated Press, local weather content from AccuWeather, lottery
results and other information such as horoscopes and movie listings
through CloverLeaf's DotDaily, an interactive television news and
information portal. Moxi Multi-Room HD DMR users will be able to
browse news by topic and region, or see the day's news as a series of
photos.

All four services will be available as free features in the Moxi
Multi-Room HD DMR, Moxi Home Cinema HD DMR and Moxi TV for PC products
to become available later in 2008. Additionally, Digeo will showcase
live demonstrations of all four services at the Consumer Electronics
Show (CES) 2008 in their booth #26606 in South Hall 2, as well as the
Content@CES showcase in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention
Center.
