DIRECTV Sat-Go Is Ready for the Road

Just in
time for the summer travel season, DIRECTV, Inc., the nation’s leading
satellite television service provider, is launching DIRECTV Sat-Go (“Satellite-to-Go”),
the world’s first portable satellite TV system.

Beginning
today, the DIRECTV Sat-Go unit, created by DIRECTV and TV producer/writer, Rick
Rosner, is available to DIRECTV customers for $1,499. DIRECTV customers who are
interested in purchasing a DIRECTV Sat-Go unit can call 1-800-DIRECTV. The
DIRECTV Sat-Go will be available at participating retail locations across the
country soon.

“DIRECTV’s
digital satellite technology enables us to do what no cable service can, offer
consumers TV programming that they can watch wherever they are,” said Eric
Shanks, executive vice president, DIRECTV Entertainment. “DIRECTV Sat-Go is the
perfect companion for a summer road trip and the ultimate tailgating accessory
for any sporting event. Since we unveiled a prototype of the unit in January,
the DIRECTV Sat-Go has created an exciting buzz in the marketplace and we are
thrilled to make it available now to DIRECTV customers across the country.”

The DIRECTV
Sat-Go is specifically designed to be compact and highly portable. The unit
comes in an easy-to-carry, briefcase-like design that includes a 17-inch LCD
monitor with integrated DIRECTV Receiver, flat antenna and
replaceable/rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The unit also includes AC/DC
adaptors for home and car.

Once the
DIRECTV Sat-Go unit is opened, there is no installation necessary. It’s quick
and simple setup makes it easy for customers to find line-of-sight with DIRECTV
satellites and receive DIRECTV programming within minutes (provided the user is
within range of the DIRECTV signal).

When not
being used as a portable/ travel unit, the DIRECTV Sat-Go can also be utilized
as an additional in-home DIRECTV Receiver and television. The LCD TV screen has
a built-in DIRECTV Receiver, which can be separated from the DIRECTV Sat-Go
antenna casing and connected to a customer’s existing DIRECTV Satellite Dish.

DIRECTV
Sat-Go customers will have access to their authorized DIRECTV programming,
including interactive features and premium sports subscription packages, such
as NFL SUNDAY TICKET™, NASCAR HOTPASS and MEGA MARCH MADNESS . For more
