Press Release Summary = Digital Television, Video on Demand, and High Definition
enable Cable and Satellite Companies to Generate Additional Revenue from their
Existing Customer Base

Press Release Body = POINT ROBERTS, Wash., Delta B.C., August 28th, 2007 -
InvestorIdeas.com, a leading online global investor resource issues the Sector Close
Up - Communications Stocks. As competition heats up within the cable and
communications arena, technology has enabled companies to achieve further growth by
providing extended and value-added bundled services to its existing customers. With
Digital Television, Video on Demand (VOD), High Definition and various mobile
features, companies are able to generate more revenue from their existing customer
base by improving the television experience.

Stand out performers include Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA), with profits up 28% for the
second-quarter and EchoStar Communications (NASDAQ: DISH) who recently reported a
rise in profits of 33%. With bundling services becoming a key strategy for reducing
churn, attracting new customers and expanding revenue sources, technology and
integration costs become differentiating factors among players within the cable and
satellite market.
As technology continues to evolve making high quality content more readily
available, issues of copyright protection are expected to become a greater priority.
Operating within this arena is digital watermarking provider USA Video Interactive
Corp. (OTCBB: USVO; TSX.V: US). The Company is also in the midst of a
Video-on-Demand patent infringement lawsuit filed against various cable companies
including Time Warner, Charter Communications, and Comcast Cable. Shares of USA
Video are currently trading between $0.13-$0.15.
"The advent of digital television, whether as HD broadcast, VOD or new download or
streaming services by the broadcasters, represents a new set of channels by which
high quality content products are delivered to people to be used as desired. If they
desire to steal and sell this content, USVO\'s SmartMarks technology is ready and
applicable to hold crooks responsible for the violation of the contract between
content producers and their honest audiences," describes Mr. Patrick Gregston,
Business Development for USA Video Interactive Corp.
