SEA-KING DELIVERS HD SIMPLICITY WITH INTRODUCTION OF 1800-HD AND 1500-HD ANTENNAS

Satellite Antenna Leader Unveils Out-of-Box HD Ready Solutions with Enhanced Design for Increased
Signal Strength, Broader Coverage and Reliable Performance in Rough Seas

King Controls, a leading manufacturer of mobile satellite antenna systems
for marine and terrestrial markets, announced today the Sea-King 1800-HD and 1500-HD marine
satellite TV antennas. A redesign of its previously existing full motion satellite domes, the new
Sea-King line offers cutting-edge advancements in antenna design with unmatched compatibility
including HDTV programming from DIRECTV® and DISH Network™. Fully HD-ready with no
additional accessories required, the 1800-HD and 1500-HD offer boaters increased signal
strength that ensures superior viewing capability over a broad coverage area, even in rough seas
or poor weather conditions. With the Sea-King 1800-HD and 1500-HD antennas, boaters can
enjoy greater satellite viewing options, enhanced performance and true HD simplicity, at an
unparalleled price.

King Controls’ new Sea-King 1800-HD and 1500-HD antennas employ an innovative design that
provides boaters with more efficient access to their favorite satellite TV programming.
Challenging the widely accepted, but dated, industry design, King Controls has replaced the
front-mounted low noise block (LNB) with a pioneering rear feed design. This new less cluttered
dish design optimizes signal strength resulting in a substantially larger geographic coverage
area. Additionally, the rear mounted LNB creates a lower center of gravity within the dome
promoting greater stability, smoother motor operation and extended product life. The durable and
robust domes also use ultra-quiet and quick servomotors allowing them to handle the demands
of the open seas with ease, making Sea-King antennas the fastest tracking models in their class.

“Our new Sea-King 1800-HD and 1500-HD satellite TV domes represent the very best antenna
technology, providing boaters superior access to popular satellite programming with greater
convenience than ever before,” said Craig Bartyzal, vice president – sales and marketing, King
Controls. “Additionally, these models provide easy access to all available Dish Network HD
programming through Sea-King’s exclusive three satellite switching feature. With high definition
set to become the broadcast standard in 2009, boaters can take comfort in the knowledge that our
new antennas are fully HDTV compatible and, unlike competitive systems, do not require boaters
to purchase additional antenna accessories in order to enjoy HD programming from DirecTV or
Dish Network.”

The Sea-King 1800-HD antenna measures 21-inches (high) by 20-inches (wide), weighs 26 lbs
and has an 18-inch dish diameter, while the 1500-HD measures 17.5-inches (high) by 16-inches
(wide), weighs 19 Ibs and has a 15-inch dish diameter. Both antennas have an azimuth tracking
rate of greater than 60-degrees per second and an elevation tracking rate of greater than 40-
degrees per second. King Controls’ Sea-King antennas are compatible with basic and HDTV
satellite service from DirecTV, Dish Network and ExpressVU™, allow automatic satellite switching
for Dish 500, Dish 1000, DirecTV and HDTV, and come complete with a DirecTV HD converter
and multi-switch for connecting up to four receivers.
