underlines the on-going strength of the Freeview capacity market, providing for
substantially improved terms for SDN, effective immediately, and longer term
benefits for QVC including certainty of carriage on the UK's largest digital

Notes to editors

SDN originally signed a carriage agreement with QVC in 2002 which was due to
terminate in November 2010. This agreement has now been extended.

About SDN
SDN is a digital terrestrial television (DTT) multiplex operator, acquired by
ITV plc in March 2005.  It holds the licence from Ofcom to broadcast DTT
channels over a specified bandwidth, and constitutes roughly a sixth of current
DTT capacity. SDN derives its income from content providers who would like their
channels to be broadcast to the nation's growing numbers of DTT homes.  The
channels are then marketed to consumers as part of the Freeview and Top Up TV
services.

Within SDN's current capacity of up to ten full videostreams, half is reserved
under the 1996 Broadcasting Act for use by Five which broadcasts its three
channels on DTT and sub-licenses the remainder of the capacity to Top Up TV. The
other channels carried by SDN are Price Drop TV, Bid TV, Nuts TV, EMAP radio
(Smash Hits & Mojo) and Teletext Holidays.
