New Suite of Two Way TV US' Games Now Available to More Than 650,000 Charter

Customers

KIRKLAND, Wash. and ST. LOUIS, Nov. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Remote controls are being transformed into joysticks as Digeo, Inc. and Charter Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: CHTR) launch an interactive television channel dedicated exclusively to games. Called i-Games, the new channel features games that viewers play by simply using their remotes. The interactive games channel is the latest addition to the Digeo(TM) Basic iTV service, currently available to more than 650,000 Charter Digital Cable(R) customers across the country under the brand name Charter i-Channels.

i-Games features two games developed in conjunction with Two Way TV US (Nasdaq: TWTV): "Picnic Antics" and "Deal With It." Both games are played using buttons on viewers' remote controls. "Picnic Antics" is an entertaining single player puzzle game that requires viewers to feverishly fend off ants invading a picnic by destroying them as fast as they appear. "Deal With It" features a cunningly devised poker board on which players must race against the clock and strategically place cards dealt by the game to construct a winning hand. The interactive games channel will eventually host strategy, trivia and board games, and display local and national high scores. For Charter customers, i-Games can be reached via the Charter welcome screen at channel 001 or via direct tuning on channel 960.

Charter i-Channels, introduced less than a year ago, has quickly grown into the nation's most widely deployed interactive television offering. Boasting a total of eight channels, including News, Weather, Sports, Entertainment, Shopping, Money and now Games, these channels provide consumers with instant access to local and national content.

Since the service began rolling out a few weeks ago, the Games i-Channel has generated nearly two million screen views, representing roughly 30 percent of all weekly i-Channel usage, making it the most popular and heavily trafficked i-Channel to date.

Currently the i-Channels service, which is available in 18 Charter markets, boasts more than four million weekly screen views, with 20 percent of viewers using it 13 times per week. The markets are: Birmingham, Ala.; Charleston, W.Va.; Chicopee, Mass.; Fort Worth, Texas; Glendale, Calif.; Johnstown, Pa.; Kingsport, Tenn.; Long Beach, Calif.; Miami Beach, Fla.; Monterey Park, Calif.; Morristown Tenn.; University and Highland Park, Texas; Riverside, Calif.; San Luis Obispo, Calif.; Turlock, Calif.; Victorville, Calif.; Whittier, Calif.; and Worcester, Mass.

Many experts predict that games will be among the most appealing applications for interactive television. "We're excited to extend the functionality of the Charter i-Channels beyond information on-demand into new application areas such as games," said Steve Silva, Charter's executive vice president and chief technology officer. "This launch further reveals the capability of digital cable to deliver more entertainment value to our customers."

"The interactive games channel is yet another example of why digital cable is the best medium for home entertainment," said Digeo chief executive Jim Billmaier. "We continue to develop new channels and services that will boost the value of digital cable for operators and consumers."

"Digeo's Games i-Channel is a phenomenal opportunity to showcase our games for a broad audience in a completely new way, while offering consumers additional fun and innovative iTV-based games," said Bruce Bauer, CEO of Two Way TV US.
