January 9, 2009 - NeuLion Inc., a leading provider of live and on-demand programming over the Internet, announces today the expansion of its HD iPTV Service. NeuLion now unveils the iPTV HD TV Box delivering high definition programming in 720p and 1080i to the television.

NeuLion's existing iPTV HD PC browser service provides HD quality programming of live channels, sports, entertainment events and video on demand in up to a 1080i format to its Network Partners across the globe.

The launch of the HD TV Box provides adaptive streaming in high definition without buffering. NeuLion now offers HD streaming services of live TV channels, live events and video on demand over the Internet directly to the television. NeuLion lets the consumer choose viewing of content on either the TV, PC or both - all in high definition and allows the consumer to pick the device, place, time and programming.

In the professional sports market, the National Football League partnered with NeuLion to deliver two unique online services in high definition to the consumer's PC. This season, the NFL launched NFL Game Pass HD, an international, subscription-based service providing live and on-demand streaming of NFL games and NFL Network programming in high definition. Building on this success, NFL Game Rewind, a subscription service available to the U.S. market, was launched delivering archived full length NFL games online giving fans the ability to "relive NFL Sunday" on the computer.
