TiVO Targets Australia

ALVISO/SYDNEY, May 29: Seven Media Group, parent company of
the Seven Network, is set to bring TiVo to the Australian market in the first
half of next year via an alliance with the digital video recorder pioneer.

The platform will be available for use by other broadcasters
and broadband content owners to create an interactive, free-to-air digital
terrestrial television offering. The TiVo Service will be available across
Australia and will include features like SeasonPass recordings and WishList
searches and will allow users to access broadband content on their TV.

"The Australian television market is on the cusp of a
significant migration to digital television that will greatly expand the
choices available on free-to-air television," said Tom Rogers, the
president and CEO of TiVo. "We are excited to play a key role in driving
this transition by partnering with the top television network in the country to
establish Seven's leadership of this transformation."

David Leckie, the CEO of the Seven Media Group, added:
"This association unites the strengths of free-to-air television and TiVo
to deliver new digital services to the Australian consumer. Free-to-air
television is well positioned in Australia to benefit from the TiVo service in
offering viewers the chance to easily find and automatically record the
programming they want, schedule their viewing time and vastly extend their
overall television viewing experience."

Leckie continued: "Through TiVo, Seven will leverage
our broadcast television and publishing businesses, deliver new advertising and
marketing solutions, and expand our presence in new communications platforms,
as we work in partnership with Yahoo!7 and Engin. As a broadcaster, we are
uniquely positioned to promote DVRs while simultaneously defining the future of
television advertising."
