Great Falls, VA, (November 26, 2003)- VMC Satellite, Inc. announced today that the DISH Network promotion now being offered includes a free High Definition Receiver and Digital Video Recorder.

According to Rick Rahim, the CEO of www.vmcsatellite.com, customers can now get over $1,000 worth of DISH Network equipment installed in their homes without having to buy the equipment. In addition, the new promotion also includes a LIFETIME WARRANTY on all equipment.

Previously, High Definition receivers were only available for an additional cost, usually in excess of $600. However, VMC is now including DISH Network's newest HDTV-ready receiver with any of the packages available at www.vmcsatellite.com.

The new Model 811 High Definition receiver retails for $399, but is provided to VMC's customers free of charge when they sign up for service. DISH Network offers more high definition TV channels than any other provider.

In addition to the new HDTV receiver, VMC now also offers customers a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) capable of recording up to 100 hours of programming without the use of video tapes. According to Rick Rahim, the DVR was previously available as an optional upgrade which required an additional upfront fee. However, VMC now offers the DVR to customers without requiring that they purchase the equipment.

The new DVR model 510 offers the ability to automatically record 100 hours of the customer's favorite programs. It also allows viewers to pause live TV, replay and skip commercials. The retail price of the DVR model 510 is $499. However, customers signing up for new service will be able to have a 510 DVR installed in their home without being required to purchase the unit.

VMC continues to offer Free Professional Installation in up to four rooms nationwide (except in Alaska). Says Rahim, "If a customer wants HDTV in one room, a DVR in another room, and regular receivers in a couple of other rooms, she can easily get over $1,000 worth of DISH network equipment installed in her home without having to buy any of that equipment."

Beginning November 26, VMC also began offering a Lifetime Warranty through DISH Network. This means that customers will never have to worry about a repair bill for as long as they are a DISH Network subscriber.
