British Digital Broadcasting Service Selects Digital Interactive Set-Top Technology from CANAL+

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 26, 1998--

CANAL+ targets U.S. market with Europe's first digital interactive technology currently commanding 65 percent of the
marketplace

British Digital Broadcasting (BDB), the world's first digital terrestrial service to be launched before the end of 1998, has
chosen to run on its digital set-top boxes the MEDIAHIGHWAY interactive system from CANAL+, Europe's first supplier of
digital broadcasting technology with over 1.6 million installed set-top boxes and 65 percent of the marketplace. The
announcement follows BDB's earlier decision to adopt the conditional access system MEDIAGUARD from Societe
Europeenne de Controle d'Acces, a joint venture between CANAL+ and Bertelsmann.

CANAL+ will provide BDB with its interactive MEDIAHIGHWAY system which includes a version of the universal graphics
interpreter MHEG-5 selected by the Digital Terrestrial Group (DTG) as the standard for all digital terrestrial broadcasters in
the United Kingdom. Interactive services available include Internet to PC software downloading, electronic program guides,
home banking, games, impulse and subscription pay-per-view, weather, interactive advertising and job-seeking services.
