BOCA RATON, Florida, June 14, 2011 -

New Pace hybrid DVR set-top box Brings Personalized Content
and Services to Comcast Cable Subscribers

Pace (LSE: PIC), the leading developer of digital TV
technologies for the payTV industry, is working with Comcast, one
of the world’s leading providers of entertainment, information and
communications products and services, to launch a new hybrid DVR
set-top box with tru2way and IP capabilities that delivers an
advanced personalized TV viewing experience.

Comcast is using the Pace set-top box platform in a market trial
of its next-generation Xfinity TV service in Augusta, GA. This
service allows customers to search and select from tens of
thousands of TV shows and movies that reflect their unique
interests, offering a personalized, useful and fun TV viewing
experience.

Mike Pulli, President, Pace Americas, said: “Comcast has a track
record of delivering the unexpected and taking TV services to a
whole new level. We are very proud that Comcast has chosen to
partner with Pace on this extraordinary project.”

Sam Schwartz, President, Comcast Converged Products, said:
“We’re excited to have partnered with Pace to develop the
industry’s first hybrid Tru2Way/IP box.  This hybrid set top
enables Comcast customers to enjoy an exciting new cloud-based TV
experience with all the great live, On Demand and DVR content that
Xfinity TV already offers.”

The Pace set-top box features an architecture that leverages
Comcast’s hybrid fiber coax network and DOCSIS® 3.0 to deliver the
new guide and user experience. The new device also includes DVR
capabilities with a high capacity hard drive.

Demos of the next generation Xfinity TV experience will be
available in the Pace plc booth (Booth # 649) and the Comcast Cable
booth (Booth #1201) at The Cable Show 2011 at McCormick Place in
Chicago on June 16th.
