Press Release Summary: MG-450HD Entertainment Server Brings the Vast World of
Multimedia to the Living Room

Press Release Body: Baldwin Park, Calif., February 26, 2008 - MediaGate, a provider
of wireless HDTV and PC digital video drives, wirelessly bridges the gap between
digital content and television, bringing the cosmic amounts of online digital
content to life in the home entertainment system. The MG-450HD entertainment server
lets consumers wirelessly stream high-definition video, music, and photos directly
to an HDTV or stereo system from the PC.

With the MediaGate MG-450HD, users can easily surf for content from multiple
sources-including PCs on the home WLAN or attached USB devices like a digital camera
or USB flash drive. Easy to setup and use, the MG-450HD operates on 802.11g wireless
networks, and supports HDMI for high definition output, composite, S-video, and
component video outputs, in addition to stereo L/R, optical/coaxial digital audio,
and analog 5.1 channels.

For maximum flexibility, users can add the hard drive of their choice, letting them
customize their media center for their storage needs - whether it's 80 or 750 GB.
The MG-450HD can also act as a Digital Media Adapter (DMA) and stream multimedia
content from a PC to HDTV without any hard drive.

The MG-450HD taps into the explosion of online video and digital media, and rising
popularity of peer-to-peer sharing and pay-per-download sites. A 2007 Pew Internet
and American Life Project study found that 75% of young adults and 57% of adults
watch or download Internet video; and 67% of young adults share online video, with
most sending video to more than one person.

"We are turning to the Web for our entertainment with greater frequency-from
catching up on our favorite network show, to watching the week's hot viral video,
and downloading high-definition movies. This is evident with the phenomenal success
of sites like YouTube, BitTorrent, and Guba," said Jason Chen, President of Sales
and Marketing of MediaGate. "And while the growth of online video has transformed
personal entertainment, most people are limited to watching content on a 14" laptop
display, even at home where their HDTV sits idly by. The MG-450HD breaks this cycle,
by providing easy and affordable access to digital downloaded content anywhere in
the home theater."

The MediaGate MG-450HD is available now for just $249 MSRP. Also available from
MediaGate is the MG-45, and the MG-250HD.
