   VIA CERTIFIED MAIL

   RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

   CompUSA, Inc.
   14951 North Dallas Parkway
   Dallas, TX 75254

   Attn: Roman Ross, President and CEO

   Re: File No. EB-07-SE-178

   Dear Mr. Ross:

   This is an official CITATION, issued pursuant to Section 503(b)(5) of the
   Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), 47 U.S.C. S 503(b)(5), to
   CompUSA.com and CompUSA, Inc. (collectively "CompUSA")  for failure to
   provide appropriate Consumer Alert disclosures on analog tuner only
   television receiving equipment in violation of Section 15.117(k) of the
   Commission's Rules ("Rules"), 47 C.F.R. S 15.117(k). As explained below,
   future violations of the Commission's rules in this regard may subject
   your company to monetary forfeitures.

   On June 1, 2007, an investigator from the Commission's  Enforcement Bureau
   visited CompUSA's internet site and observed that CompUSA  did not have
   the proper Consumer Alert label displayed on equipment that contained an
   analog tuner but not a digital tuner at the point of sale.

   Section 15.117(k) of the Commission's Rules states:


     (k) The following requirements apply to all  responsible parties, as    
     defined in S2.909 of this chapter, and any person that displays or      
     offers for sale or rent television receiving equipment that is not      
     capable of receiving, decoding and tuning digital signals.              
                                                                             
     (1) Such parties and persons shall place conspicuously and in close     
     proximity to such television broadcast receivers a sign containing, in  
     clear and conspicuous print, the Consumer Alert disclosure text         
     required by subparagraph (3). The text should be in a size of type      
     large enough to be clear, conspicuous and readily legible, consistent   
     with the dimensions of the equipment and the label. The information     
     may be printed on a transparent material and affixed to the screen, if  
     the receiver includes a display, in a manner that is removable by the   
     consumer and does not obscure the picture, or, if the receiver does     
     not include a display, in a prominent location on the device, such as   
     on the top or front of the device, when displayed for sale, or the      
     information in this format may be displayed separately immediately      
     adjacent to each television broadcast receiver offered for sale and     
     clearly associated with the analog-only model to which it pertains.     
                                                                             
     (2) If such parties and persons display or offer for sale or rent such  
     television broadcast receivers via direct mail, catalog, or electronic  
     means, they shall prominently display in close proximity to the images  
     or descriptions of such television broadcast receivers, in clear and    
     conspicuous print, the Consumer Alert disclosure text required by       
     subparagraph (3). The text should be in a size large enough to be       
     clear, conspicuous, and readily legible, consistent with the            
     dimensions of the advertisement or description.                         
                                                                             
     (3) "CONSUMER ALERT                                                     
                                                                             
     This television receiver has only an analog broadcast tuner and will    
     require a converter box after February 17, 2009, to receive             
     over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna because of the Nation's         
     transition to digital broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to  
     work as before with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles,   
     VCRs, DVD players, and similar products. For more information, call     
     the Federal Communications Commission at 1-888-225-5322 (TTY:           
     1-888-835-5322) or visit the Commission's digital television website    
     at: [1]www.dtv.gov."                                                    


   Accordingly, it appears that CompUSA has violated Section 15.117(k)(1) of
   the Rules by failing to place a label with the exact language contained in
   Section 15.117(k)(3) on or in close proximity to the following equipment:


     Manufacturer             Device           Model #  

     Syntax-Brillian Olevia   32-inch LCD-TV   LT32HVE  


   We caution you that failure to display an appropriate Consumer Alert label
   on any television receiving equipment that is not capable of receiving,
   decoding and tuning digital signals would constitute a further violation
   of Section 15.117(k) of the Rules.

   If, after receipt of this citation, CompUSA  violates the Communications
   Act or the Commission's rules in any manner described herein, the
   Commission may impose monetary forfeitures not to exceed $11,000 for each
   such violation or each day of a continuing violation up to $97,500 for a
   single continuing violation.

   If you choose to do so, you may respond to this citation within 10 days
   from the date of this letter either through (1) a personal interview at
   the Commission's Field Office nearest to your place of business, or (2) a
   written statement. Your response should specify the actions that CompUSA
   is taking to ensure that it does not violate Section 15.117(k) of the
   Commission's rules in the future.

   CompUSA  may request an interview at the closest FCC Field Office, which
   is located in Dallas, Texas. Please contact Brett Greenwalt at (202)
   418-1160 if you wish to schedule an interview, which must take place
   within 10 days of this Citation. CompUSA  may also submit a written
   statement within 10 days of the date of this Citation to:
