"XStreamHD will provide consumers with an unmatched HD entertainment experience," said George Gonzalez, founder and CEO of XStreamHD. "There is really a strong buzz in the enthusiast community about our launch, with many asking to be among the first to receive their XStreamHD units. We are really excited to announce that consumers will be able to pre-order our revolutionary system in advance of the launch, guaranteeing that they will be among the first to be empowered to create their own customized HD entertainment systems and achieve the optimum HD content experience."

The XStreamHD FAST Start package includes one HD Media Server with 1TB storage, one HD Media Receiver, RF One Remote Control, and all of the accessories, including one 3m High-Speed Cat2 certified HDMI cable and two 3m Cat5e Ethernet cables.

XStreamHD's revolutionary whole-home HD entertainment solution delivers Full HD (1080p) video and up to 7.1 channels of lossless audio, including DTS-HD Master Audio(TM) and FLAC, directly to the home via satellite, providing consumers with the very latest movies, music and electronic games in higher quality formats than are commercially available from other digital delivery content services.

Some of XStreamHD's advanced features include:

• Pre-Fetched Entertainment - Allows users instant access to Full HD entertainment, including first-run content the second it is released by the studio.

• Network Video Recorder - Includes three HDTV tuners to capture your favorite off-air HDTV programs from start to finish - regardless of schedule changes or programming delays.

• RF One Remote Control - Leverages ZigBee Pro(TM) radio frequency (RF) technology that requires no line-of-sight.

• Direct Alphanumeric Navigation - Quickly locate specific content using the alphanumeric keypad on the RF One Remote Control, similar to the T9Word feature used in texting on mobile devices.

This announcement of the advance purchase option comes on the heels of XStreamHD selecting Jabil Circuit, Inc. of St. Petersburg, Florida, as its global partner for manufacturing of its suite of hardware. Jabil Circuit has begun production of XStreamHD's HD Media Server, HD Media Receiver and PRO Media Receiver, making possible the advance purchase option. XStreamHD's solution includes an HD Media Server, through which consumers have access to HD content that can be multi-streamed to any XStreamHD Media Receiver or other DNLA Certified(TM) device in the home. XStreamHD has licensed and deployed ZigBee PRO and Jennic's JN5148 ultra-low power wireless microcontroller technology to enable key elements of the advanced XStreamHD RF One Remote Control, which has the ability to locate the HD Media Receiver out of the line-of-sight without impacting performance.

XStreamHD will be exhibiting at booth #20913 in South Hall at CES 2010, where the team will be demonstrating the product as well as taking a limited number of orders for advance purchase. All are welcome to visit the XStreamHD booth to see first-hand the system's vast capabilities and to learn about the concept behind the technology.
