Germantown - Feb 25, 2002
Hughes Network Systems (HNS), the world's leading provider of broadband satellite network solutions and leading manufacturer of satellite TV receivers, announced today that it shipped 2 million DirecTV receivers in 2001, reaching a new milestone of 8 million total systems shipped since it began production in 1996.

"We are very pleased to have achieved such strong sales numbers, particularly at the end of the year," said Paul Gaske, executive vice president and general manager for HNS' North America Division. "We've achieved this milestone by continuing to focus on producing the highest-quality products with the best value and features."

Setting the pace for best-of-breed digital receivers, HNS recently launched its Director Pack receiver -- the only set-top in the United States with both Dolby-certified TruSurround by SRS sound and interactive TV Wink capabilities.

The Director Pack is a DirecTV digital satellite receiver that combines sleek ergonomic design, superior audio and picture quality, and several new functions exclusive to HNS.

Some of the features include the Zoom Picture-In-Guide and the Audio and Video Adjustment functions, which allow customers to adjust picture and audio quality regardless of the brand or age of the television.

"Our customers, dealers and retailers expect HNS to deliver the best DirecTV products on the market -- products that combine ease of use and compelling features for consumers at every price point," said Peter Gulla, vice president of Sales and Marketing at HNS. "The continued demand for our set-top receivers is a powerful reinforcement that we are delivering what customers want."
