   RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

   Attn: Carl W. Struckmeyer

   Re:  File No. EB-05-SE-174

   Dear Mr. Struckmeyer:

   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), for
   marketing an unauthorized radio frequency device in the United States in
   violation of Section 302(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. S
   302a(b), and Section 2.803 of the Commission's Rules ("Rules"), 47 C.F.R.
   S 2.803. As explained below, future violations of the Commission's rules
   in this regard may subject your company to monetary forfeitures.

   The Spectrum Enforcement Division ("Division") of the Commission's
   Enforcement Bureau received a complaint alleging that DreamBox USA was
   importing and marketing unauthorized direct broadcast satellite receivers,
   the DreamBox DM500-S ("DM500-S") and the DreamBox DM7020-S ("DM7020-S").
   On several occasions, Division staff visited the DreamBox USA web site,
   www.dreamboxusa.com, and observed that both the DM500-S and the DM7020-S
   receivers were being marketed.

   On April 19, 2006, the Division issued a Letter of Inquiry ("LOI") to
   DreamBox USA seeking information concerning its importation and marketing
   of the devices. In your response dated May 13, 2006, you  acknowledged
   marketing the DM500-S and DM7020-S receivers.  Additionally, you
   identified One-O-One iSolutions ("One-O-One"), a company based in
   Cupertino, California, as your distributor of these receivers.

   Your response failed to indicate whether the DM500-S and DM7020-S
   receivers met the Commission's requirements for either certification or
   Declaration of Conformity, as required by Section 15.101(a) of the Rules,
   47 C.F.R. S 15.101(a). You stated that these receivers have been imported
   for years and that you were "under the understanding from the distributors
   that they meet all of the rules and regulations." You added that you do
   not have or know of "any certificates required to re-sell these
   receivers."

   On October 2, 2006, the Division issued an LOI to One-O-One, seeking
   further information regarding its distribution of the DM500-S and DM7020-S
   receivers. In its response dated November 5, 2006, One-O-One included a
   Declaration of Conformity test report for the DM500-S. One-O-One did not
   provide a test report for the DM7020-S receiver, and added that to the
   best of its knowledge, "there is no FCC certificate available for the
   DM7020-S."

   Sections 2.936, 2.1076 and 15.29 of the Rules, 47 C.F.R.SS 2.936, 2.1076
   and 15.29, require that documents and/or test samples demonstrating
   equipment compliance be provided to the Commission upon reasonable
   request. Neither DreamBox USA nor One-O-One has provided documentation or
   other proof indicating that the DM7020-S receiver complies with either the
   Declaration of Conformity or certification requirements for television
   interface devices as specified in Section 15.101(a) of the Rules.
   Therefore, we conclude that the DM7020-S receiver is an unauthorized
   device.

   Section 302(b) of the Act provides that "[n]o person shall manufacture,
   import, sell, offer for sale, or ship devices or home electronic equipment
   and systems, or use devices, which fail to comply with regulations
   promulgated pursuant to this section." Section 2.803(a) of the
   Commission's implementing regulations provides that:

   no person shall sell or lease, or offer for sale or lease (including
   advertising for sale or lease), or import, ship, or distribute for the
   purpose of selling or leasing or offering for sale or lease, any radio
   frequency device unless: (1) In the case of a device subject to
   certification, such device has been authorized by the Commission in
   accordance with the rules in this chapter and is properly identified and
   labelled as required by S 2.925 and other relevant sections in this
   chapter; or (2) In the case of a device that is not required to have a
   grant of equipment authorization issued by the Commission, but which must
   comply with the specified technical standards prior to use, such device
   also complies with all applicable administrative (including verification
   of the equipment or authorization under a Declaration of Conformity, where
   required), technical, labeling and identification requirements specified
   in this chapter.

   Accordingly, the DM7020-S receiver cannot be marketed in the United States
   prior to it being approved in accordance with the FCC's Declaration of
   Conformity or certification procedures. It thus appears that DreamBox USA
   has violated Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803 of the Rules by
   marketing in the United States a radio frequency device that is not
   authorized.

   If, after receipt of this citation, you violate 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.

   You may respond to this citation within 30 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 DreamBox USA is taking to ensure
   that it does not violate the Commission's rules governing the marketing of
   unauthorized radio frequency equipment in the future.

   The nearest Commission Field Office is located in Buffalo, New York.
   Please call Gabriel Collazo at 202-418-1160 if you wish to schedule a
   personal interview. You should schedule any interview to take place within
   30 days of the date of this letter. You should send any written statement
   within 30 days of the date of this letter to:
