PRESS RELEASE
WINEGARD® INTRODUCES HD SOLUTION FOR SATELLITE ANTENNAS
Burlington, Iowa -- March 29, 2007 --Winegard's new Satellite Interface, WB-2700, enhances both RoadTrip™ and Movin' View® satellite TV antennas by providing RVers with the ability to receive HD programming. The Satellite Interface also allows users to easily customize the settings to receive programming from the providers of their choice: DISH Network™, DIRECTV® and Bell ExpressVu.

The Satellite Interface can be used for both new purchases of Movin' View and RoadTrip satellite antennas as well as those purchased before the Satellite Interface was released. This means that for those RVers who currently own a Movin' View 3500 series antenna or RoadTrip SD and SDi series antenna, they can get HD programming and access to more satellites with a Winegard Satellite Interface. No need to go out and buy a whole new satellite antenna!

Winegard domes are well-known in the industry for their simple operation. "When our engineers designed the Satellite Interface, one of their top priorities was to maintain a system that is easy to learn and use," said Aaron Engberg, Manager of Winegard's Mobile Products Division. "Most of the Satellite Interface functions require the user to push only one button, an important feature competitor models can't match."

While the Satellite Interface adds more available satellites, Winegard has retained the convenience of its automatic satellite switching feature, commonly referred to as automatic toggling. The chart below shows attainable satellites for various programming options.

Programming Available Satellites
DISH 500 110? and 119?
DISH 1000 110?, 119? and 129? exclusive to Winegard
DIRECTV 101? and 119?
DIRECTV Plus 101?, 110? and 119?
Bell ExpressVu 82? and 92?

Current KU Band satellites include: 61.5?, 72?, 82?, 92?, 101?, 110?, 119?, 129?, and 148?.

High definition programming can be received from DISH Network, DIRECTV
(R), and ExpressVu with the Winegard Satellite Interface when used in conjunction with a high definition receiver and an HD-Ready TV.

PLEASE NOTE: For DIRECTV users, an additional HD Converter (WB-1100), is required and is sold separately.

An attractive, backlit LCD display indicates normal operating messages, diagnostics indicators and configuration parameters. These configurations include satellite providers and the user's desired satellites. When troubleshooting is required, the LCD display will assist both the customer and Winegard technical service by outputting diagnostic and error messages.

Finally, for customers with an in-motion Movin' View or RoadTrip dome satellite, the antenna sleep mode setting can be modified. This feature is handy for customers who will not be traveling anywhere and wish to eliminate the movement of the dish on top of the roof.

Features and Benefits Summary
"¢ Provides HD programming
"¢ Compatible with any Winegard Movin' View® 3500 series antennas or RoadTrip™ SD and SDi series antennas
"¢ Automatic Toggle for DISH 1000, DISH 500, DIRECTV Triple-feed and Bell ExpressVu
"¢ Manual mode allows user to acquire any listed KU Band satellite
"¢ CD display for user and diagnostic messages

Winegard currently manufactures and markets four distinct product lines:
