Press Release Summary: Converter Boxes Rated by Picture Quality

Press Release Body: July 9, 2008: NOVI, Mich. - Television converter boxes sold by
Detroit-based electronics retailer Solid Signal have been identified as the best in
picture quality by a leading consumer organization.

Converter boxes are an essential piece of equipment for television's digital
conversion in February 2009. After the digital conversion, millions of analog
televisions sets in the United States will stop working unless they are equipped
with converter boxes, which translate digital broadcasting to analog television
sets.

As part of a multibillion-dollar effort to prepare the public for the digital
switch, Congress created the TV Converter Box Coupon Program to offset some of the
cost of these digital converter boxes.

However, like anything, not all converter boxes are created equal. Four converter
box brands sold by Solid Signal were rated best in picture quality by the largest
consumer-product testing center in the world.

"Solid Signal's mission is to offer the best in products and advice to all our
consumers," said President Jerry Chapman. "As an Internet retailer of electronic
equipment, it is important that our customers know they are getting the best quality
electronics on the market today. Our products' rating by this consumer organization
just confirms what we already knew - that we sell only the best in consumer
electronics."

The federal government plans to distribute more than 38 million coupons for
converter boxes to consumers in preparation of the digital conversion on Feb. 17,
2009. For more information on the coupon program, log onto www.dtv2009.gov. Solid
Signal is listed as an official retailer of the converter box program.

"Solid Signal wants to educate consumers about the digital switch and to make sure
they only buy what they need," said Chapman. "Over the next several months, we will
be taking the opportunity to call our customers to make sure they have all the
necessary equipment for the digital conversion in 2009."
