Interactive Television Networks, Inc. ("ITVN"), a leading provider of hardware, programming software and interactive networks to the IPTV market announces the distribution of up to 5,000 IPTV set top boxes to consumers nationwide. ITVN is including a 15-day free subscription to XTV Networks, ITVN's critically acclaimed adult network.

Consumers simply connect the ITVN TV set top box to their existing home broadband/DSL router, cable modem router or wireless LAN and to their television set though standard video connectors. The ITVN set top box does not require a personal computer or additional hardware.

PC Magazine described ITVN's broadband enabled TV set top box as "a technology breakthrough" with image quality that is "indistinguishable from broadcast."

"ITVN has achieved an outstanding value proposition for consumers, offering not only state of the art user friendly technology but content delivered in a compelling format at an unbeatable price," said Charles Prast, ITVN's CEO. "With the price of home broadband at ever lower levels, consumers are able now to use the web to deliver compelling content and true interactivity to their entertainment appliance of choice, the television set."

"ITVN leverages home broadband, an existing infrastructure, to bypass the massive costs of cable and satellite delivery. Consumers know that content delivered directly from the Internet is also far more interactive and broad in scope than anything that can be offered over traditional networks. Simply put, ITVN's cost base and platform allow us to pass on extraordinary value and service to consumers nationwide."

According to Nielsen//NetRatings there are over 60 million US broadband households, those households being capable of benefiting from ITVN's product and service.

XTV Networks, ITVN's most popular network, consists of over 50 webcast 24/7 TV channels and as well as 10 interactive video channels as part of the basic subscription as well as an extensive library of Pay per View titles. Following the 15-day free trial, the XTV Networks basic subscription is only $29.95 per month with no long-term obligations.
