Macrovision Providing Digital Commerce Foundation for Leading UK Broadcasting Network

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Macrovision Corporation (Nasdaq:MVSN) today announced that Channel Four Television Corporation (Channel 4), a leading public service broadcaster operating in the United Kingdom, has deployed Macrovision's Digital Commerce Solution, including core products RightAccess and RightCommerce, to provide the ecommerce infrastructure for its new Video On-Demand (VOD) service.

Macrovision's Digital Commerce Solution allows organizations to control and commercialize digital goods and services of all kinds, such as text, audio, video, streaming media, games and software applications.

"We're very excited about our new PC-based VOD offering which allows Channel 4 viewers to purchase, download and enjoy classic Channel 4 content from throughout its history including Shameless, Drop the Dead Donkey or Big Brother," said Bob Harris, responsible for IT Strategy & Architecture at Channel 4. "With Macrovision's solution, we can now sell individual episodes as well as entire seasons and will soon introduce subscription based packages with the ability to test new strategies and make changes, at any time, with minimal systems impact."

Macrovision's Digital Commerce Solution enables Channel 4 to price and promote flexible VOD product offerings. Price optimization features allow easy real-time testing of both pricing and promotional strategies. The solution's commerce capabilities also facilitate dynamic pricing based on stored metadata (e.g., recognizing and charging a discounted price when a season or bundle of episodes is purchased, versus an individual episode).

Macrovision's Digital Commerce Solution has been integrated with Channel 4's implementation of Microsoft Windows Media DRM which controls content usage, such as the number of times an episode may be viewed. Channel 4 has also employed the solution to upgrade the existing registration management system that underpins channel4.com (www.channel4.com) and associated sites.

"Channel 4 recognizes the importance of a solid, flexible infrastructure when it comes to implementing a digital distribution strategy," said Fred Amoroso, CEO of Macrovision. "Macrovision's Digital Commerce Solution allows companies to maximize the value of their web-based goods and services through a comprehensive set of access control, commerce, business intelligence and customer care tools. We're delighted that Channel 4 Television is working with us to power its exciting new Video On-Demand service."
