FOSTER CITY, CA--(Marketwire - April 1, 2009) - Sling Media, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of EchoStar Corporation (NASDAQ: [ SATS ]), today announced an upgrade program for Slingbox customers who currently own earlier versions of its award-winning Slingbox, including the original Slingbox, Slingbox AV and Slingbox TUNER. To qualify, Slingbox customers will be required to input a valid serial number at [ www.slingmedia.com/upgrade ] and will then receive their discount for the purchase of either a Slingbox SOLO or Slingbox PRO-HD.

Sling Media is encouraging customers who own these earlier versions of Slingbox to upgrade to Slingbox SOLO or Slingbox PRO-HD to take advantage of next generation software and services that will only be supported when using the most current Slingbox and SlingLoaded products. Future software includes the highly anticipated SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone software expected to launch soon.

For more information on the Slingbox upgrade program and to see if your Slingbox qualifies for the discount, visit [ www.slingmedia.com/upgrade ]. Your current Slingbox will still work without the upgrade, but software like SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone and future services will only be supported for customers using Slingbox SOLO and Slingbox PRO-HD products or forthcoming SlingLoaded products.
