Digeo Captures Emmy® Award Nomination For Video-on-Demand Integration In Moxi™ Program Guide

New Capability Promotes and Increases Usage of On-Demand Cable Programming; New Nomination Follows the Moxi Guide’s Two Existing Emmy Awards

November 8, 2006

Digeo, Inc. today announced it has been nominated for a Technology & Engineering Emmy® Award for its breakthrough ability to integrate video-on-demand (VOD) programming into the Moxi™ program guide. The nomination recognizes Moxi’s innovative achievement in making VOD content dramatically easier for consumers to find, select and purchase; and for cable operators to present and promote to their subscribers. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) released the list of nominees in the Science, Technology & Engineering for Broadband & Personal Television categories today, and will announce the Emmy Award winners at the opening night ceremony of the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on January 8, 2007, in Las Vegas. “We’re very pleased and honored to receive this nomination by the Academy for our ongoing work to create and provide consumers with the best available entertainment experience,” said Mike Fidler, CEO of Digeo. “The Moxi guide is unique in its ability to make VOD content quick and convenient to browse, and easy to purchase. We want to thank NATAS for acknowledging our advancements and new capabilities.” Digeo has a strong history of technical innovation and user-centric design in its product offerings. NATAS has awarded Digeo’s flagship Moxi Media Center two Advanced Media Technology Emmy Awards: in 2004 for the Moxi Media Center user interface; and in 2005 for outstanding achievement in the category of Creation of Non-Traditional Programs or Platforms. The Moxi guide’s “On Demand Browser” offers instant access to on-demand titles, with fewer steps to select and purchase than previous technologies have required. On-demand content featuring movie poster images, title and detailed program information is integrated and displayed in multiple locations throughout the Moxi interface, including the programming search tool -- an approach which increases overall consumer enjoyment and cable operator VOD generated revenue. Adelphia Cable first deployed the new VOD integration capability in late 2005. Comparative data compiled by Adelphia in early 2006 in its Southern California region showed that VOD usage increased by more than 200% by subscribers to the Moxi software and services as compared to conventional (non-DVR) cable subscribers.
