DIRECTV HOLDINGS LLC

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

DIRECTV Holdings LLC is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DIRECTV and consists of DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and DIRECTV Financing Co., Inc., or DIRECTV Financing. We sometimes refer to DIRECTV Holdings LLC as DIRECTV Holdings, DIRECTV U.S., we or us and sometimes refer to DIRECTV as our Parent. We are the largest provider of direct-to-home, or DTH, digital television services and the second largest provider in the multi-channel video programming distribution, or MVPD, industry in the United States.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) that are necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2011, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on May 6, 2011 and all of our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC after such date and through the date of this report.

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, our actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in those estimates.

In April 2011, we sold an equity method investment for $55 million in cash. As a result of this sale, we recognized a $37 million gain, or $23 million after tax, on the sale in "Other, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, which represents the difference between the selling price and the carrying amount of the equity method investment sold.

On January 1, 2011 we adopted the revisions issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board to the standard for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The revised standard allows entities to use the "best estimate of selling price" in addition to third-party evidence or actual selling prices for determining the fair value of a deliverable, and includes additional disclosure requirements. The adoption of this change did not have an effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.

We enter into multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements with our subscribers under which we provide DIRECTV receiving equipment and installation at the inception of the arrangement, and programming during their contract period of up to two years. We allocate consideration to each deliverable in the arrangement based on its relative selling price. We determine the selling price of the

DIRECTV receiving equipment using our best estimate. We determine the selling price for installation services based on prices charged by third parties. We determine the selling price of the programming using our standard programming rates. The DIRECTV receiving equipment, installation services and programming are each considered separate units of accounting.

We recognize subscription and pay-per-view revenues when programming is broadcast to subscribers. We recognize subscriber fees for multiple set-top receivers, warranty services and equipment rental as revenue, as earned. We recognize advertising revenues when the related services are performed. We defer programming payments received from subscribers in advance of the broadcast as "Unearned subscriber revenues and deferred credits" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets until earned. We recognize revenues to be received under contractual commitments on a straight line basis over the minimum contractual period. We report revenues net of customer credits and discounted promotions.

	Total senior notes	$	13,500	$	13,462	$	10,472

The fair value of our senior notes was approximately $14,188 million at June 30, 2011 and $10,881 million at December 31, 2010. We calculated the fair values based on quoted market prices of our senior notes, which is a Level 1 input under accounting guidance for fair value measurements of assets and liabilities.

All of our senior notes were issued by us and have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. All of our senior notes are unsecured and have been fully and unconditionally

guaranteed, jointly and severally, by substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries. Principal on the senior notes is payable upon maturity, while interest is payable semi-annually.

As of June 30, 2011, we had the ability to borrow up to $2 billion under a revolving credit facility discussed below.

We incurred $24 million of debt issuance costs in connection with this transaction.

On March 17, 2011, we purchased, pursuant to a tender offer, $341 million of our then outstanding $1,002 million of 6.375% senior notes due in 2015, representing approximately 34% of the total outstanding principal of these notes, at a price of 103.313%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. On June 15, 2011, we redeemed, pursuant to the terms of our indenture, the remaining $659 million of our outstanding 6.375% senior notes due 2015, at a price of 102.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We recorded a pre-tax charge of $14 million, $9 million after tax, during the second quarter of 2011 and a pre-tax charge of $25 million, $16 million after tax during the six months ended June 30, 2011, as a result of the redemptions, primarily for the premiums paid. The pre-tax charge was recorded in "Other, net" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We incurred $17 million of debt issuance costs in connection with this transaction.

On March 16, 2010, we repaid the $985 million of remaining principal on Term Loan C of our senior secured credit facility. The repayment of Term Loan C resulted in a first quarter 2010 pre-tax charge of $9 million, $6 million after tax, of which $6 million resulted from the write-off of unamortized discount and $3 million resulted from the write-off of deferred debt issuance and other

transaction costs. The charge was recorded in "Other, net" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At December 31, 2010, our senior secured credit facility consisted of a $500 million undrawn six-year revolving credit facility.

In February 2011, our senior secured credit facility was terminated and replaced by a five-year, $2.0 billion revolving credit facility. We pay a commitment fee of .30% per year for the unused commitment under the revolving credit facility, and borrowings will bear interest at an annual rate of (i) the London interbank offer rate (LIBOR) (or for Euro advances the EURIBOR rate) plus 1.50% or at our option (ii) the higher of the prime rate plus 0.50% or the Fed Funds Rate plus 1.00%. The commitment fee and the annual interest rate may be increased or decreased under certain conditions, which include changes in our long-term, unsecured debt ratings. The revolving credit facility has been fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by substantially all of our subsidiaries on a senior unsecured basis.

The revolving credit facility requires us to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a specified ratio of indebtedness to adjusted net income. The revolving credit facility also includes covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things, (i) incur additional subsidiary indebtedness, (ii) incur liens, (iii) enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (iv) merge or consolidate with another entity, (v) sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, and (vi) change our lines of business. Additionally, the senior notes contain restrictive covenants that are similar. Should we fail to comply with these covenants, all or a portion of our borrowings under the senior notes could become immediately payable and our revolving credit facility could be terminated. At June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all such covenants. The senior notes and revolving credit facility also provide that the borrowings may be required to be prepaid if certain change-in-control events occur.

Litigation is subject to uncertainties and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. Various legal actions, claims and proceedings are pending against us arising in the ordinary course of business. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Some of the matters may involve compensatory, punitive, or treble damage claims, or demands that, if granted, could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that could not be estimated at June 30, 2011. After discussion with counsel representing us in those actions, it is the opinion of management that such litigation is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Intellectual Property Litigation. We are a defendant in several unrelated lawsuits claiming infringement of various patents relating to various aspects of our businesses. In certain of these cases other industry participants are also defendants, and also in certain of these cases we expect that any potential liability would be the responsibility of our equipment vendors pursuant to applicable contractual indemnification provisions. To the extent that the allegations in these lawsuits can be

analyzed by us at this stage of their proceedings, we believe the claims are without merit and intend to defend the actions vigorously. We have determined that the likelihood of a material liability in such matters is remote or have made appropriate accruals and the final disposition of these claims is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position. However, if an adverse ruling is made in a lawsuit involving key intellectual property, such ruling could result in a loss that would be material to our consolidated results of operations of any one period. No assurance can be given that any adverse outcome would not be material to our consolidated financial position.

Early Cancellation Fees. In 2008, a number of plaintiffs filed putative class action lawsuits in state and federal courts challenging the early cancellation fees we assess our customers when they do not fulfill their programming commitments. Several of these lawsuits are pending—some in California state court purporting to represent statewide classes, and some in federal courts purporting to represent nationwide classes. The lawsuits seek both monetary and injunctive relief. While the theories of liability vary, the lawsuits generally challenge these fees under state consumer protection laws as both unfair and inadequately disclosed to customers. In light of the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion, we intend to move to compel these cases to arbitration in accordance with our Customer Agreement. We believe that our early cancellation fees are adequately disclosed, and represent reasonable estimates of the costs we incur when customers cancel service before fulfilling their programming commitments.

From time to time, we receive investigative inquiries or subpoenas from state and federal authorities with respect to alleged violations of state and federal statutes. These inquiries may lead to legal proceedings in some cases. We have received a request for information from the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, on issues similar to those recently resolved with a multistate group of state attorneys general. We are cooperating with the FTC by providing information about our sales and marketing practices and customer complaints.

We may purchase in-orbit and launch insurance to mitigate the potential financial impact of satellite launch and in-orbit failures if the premium costs are considered economic relative to the risk of satellite failure. The insurance generally covers the unamortized book value of covered satellites. We do not insure against lost revenues in the event of a total or partial loss of the capacity of a satellite. We generally rely on in-orbit spare satellites and excess transponder capacity at key orbital slots to mitigate the impact a satellite failure could have on our ability to provide service. At June 30, 2011, the net book value of in-orbit satellites was $1,626 million, all of which was uninsured.

In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into transactions with related parties as discussed below.

We determine our income taxes based upon our tax sharing agreement with our Parent, which generally provides that the current income tax liability or receivable be computed as if we were a separate taxpayer. Payments made to our Parent under this tax sharing arrangement were $429 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $425 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We

also receive an allocation of employee benefit expenses from our Parent. We believe that our consolidated financial statements reflect our cost of doing business in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 1.B, "Allocation of Expenses and Related Disclosures in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries, Divisions or Lesser Business Components of Another Entity."

We paid dividends to our Parent of $3,250 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $4,000 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 from available cash and cash equivalents.

Transactions with regional sports networks owned by our Parent are also included as transactions with DIRECTV and affiliates.

On June 16, 2010, our Parent completed a transaction with Dr. John Malone and his family, which we refer to as the Malones, which resulted in the reduction of the Malones' voting interest in our Parent from approximately 24% to approximately 3% and Dr. Malone's concurrent resignation from our Parent's Board of Directors. Transactions with Liberty Media, Discovery Communications, Inc. and Liberty Global, Inc. and their subsidiaries or equity method investees were considered to be related party transactions as a result of Dr. Malone's ownership interest and management roles for these entities. Such transactions consisted primarily of purchases of programming created, owned or distributed by these entities.

The majority of payments under contractual arrangements with Liberty Media, Discovery Communications, Inc. and Liberty Global, Inc. entities relate to multi-year programming contracts. Payments under these contracts are typically subject to annual rate increases and are based on the number of subscribers receiving the related programming.

Companies in which we hold equity method investments are also considered related parties.

Transactions with the Game Show Network, in which our Parent holds an equity method investment, are also included as transactions with Other.

The majority of payments under contractual arrangements with related parties are pursuant to multi-year programming contracts. Payments under these contracts are typically subject to annual rate increases and are based on the number of subscribers receiving the related programming.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2011, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on May 6, 2011and all of our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC after such date and through the date of this report.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain certain statements that we believe are, or may be considered to be, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of various provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of statements that include phrases such as we "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "foresee", "project" or other similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding our outlook for 2010 financial results, liquidity and capital resources.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include economic, business, competitive, national or global political, market and regulatory conditions and the following, each of which is described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 or in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:

Any forward looking statement made by us in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may occur and it is not possible for us to predict them all. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future development or otherwise, except as required by law.

The following is a discussion of our results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Information in this section is organized as follows:

We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of DIRECTV and our subsidiaries include DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and DIRECTV Financing Co., Inc. We acquire, promote, sell and distribute digital entertainment programming primarily via satellite to residential and commercial subscribers. We are the largest provider of direct-to-home, or DTH, digital television services and the second largest provider in the multi-channel video programming distribution, or MVPD, industry in the United States. As of June 30, 2011, we had over 19.4 million subscribers.

In March 2011, we issued $4.0 billion of senior notes resulting in $3,990 million of proceeds, net of discount.

In March 2011, we completed a fixed price tender offer to purchase $341 million of the outstanding 6.375% senior notes due in 2015. On June 15, 2011, we redeemed, pursuant to the terms of our indenture, the remaining $659 million of our outstanding 6.375% senior notes due 2015, at a price of 102.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We recorded a pre-tax charge of $14 million, $9 million after tax, during the second quarter of 2011 and a pre-tax charge of $25 million, $16 million after tax during the six months ended June 30, 2011, as a result of the redemptions, primarily for the premiums paid. The pre-tax charge was recorded in "Other, net" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In March 2010, we issued $3.0 billion of senior notes resulting in net proceeds of $2,996 million and repaid the $985 million of remaining principal on Term Loan C of our senior secured credit facility. The repayment of Term Loan C resulted in a first quarter of 2010 pre-tax charge of $9 million, $6 million after tax, resulting from the write-off of the unamortized discount, deferred debt issuance and other transaction costs. The charges were recorded in "Other, net" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In April 2011, we sold an equity method investment for $55 million in cash. We recognized a $37 million gain ($23 million after tax) on the sale in "Other, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 that we expect that the anticipated growth in revenues in 2011 will be partially offset by higher programming costs, including the costs associated with our contract with the NFL, resulting in operating profit before depreciation and amortization growth in the low to mid single digit percentage range. Consistent with this, we currently anticipate lower operating profit before depreciation and amortization margins in the second half of the year as compared to the first half of the year, primarily due to higher programming costs.

The following table sets forth our unaudited consolidated statements of operations and certain other operating data:

(1): Operating profit before depreciation and amortization, which is a financial measure that is not determined in accordance with GAAP can be calculated by adding amounts under the caption "Depreciation and amortization expense" to "Operating profit." This measure should be used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures and is not presented as an alternative measure of operating results, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our management and DIRECTV use operating profit before depreciation and amortization to evaluate the operating performance of our company and our business segments and to allocate resources and capital to business segments. This metric is also used as a measure of performance for incentive compensation purposes and to measure income generated from operations that could be used to fund capital expenditures, service debt or pay taxes. Depreciation and amortization expense primarily represents an allocation to current expense of the cost of historical capital expenditures and for acquired intangible assets resulting from prior business acquisitions. To compensate for the exclusion of depreciation and amortization expense from operating profit, our management and DIRECTV separately measure and budget for capital expenditures and business acquisitions.

We believe this measure is useful to investors, along with GAAP measures (such as revenues, operating profit and net income), to compare our operating performance to other communications, entertainment and media service providers. We believe that investors use current and projected operating profit before depreciation and amortization and similar measures to estimate our current or prospective enterprise value and make investment decisions. This metric provides investors with a means to compare operating results exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense. Our management believes this is useful given the significant variation in depreciation and amortization expense that can result from the timing of capital expenditures, the capitalization of intangible assets, potential variations in expected useful lives when compared to other companies and periodic changes to estimated useful lives.

Operating profit before depreciation and amortization margin is calculated by dividing operating profit before depreciation and amortization by revenues.

(2): Free cash flow, which is a financial measure that is not determined in accordance with GAAP, can be calculated by deducting amounts under the captions "Cash paid for property and equipment," "Cash paid for subscriber leased equipment-subscriber acquisitions," "Cash paid for subscriber leased equipment-upgrade and retention," and "Cash paid for satellites" from "Net cash provided by operating activities" from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This financial measure should be used in conjunction with other GAAP financial measures and is not presented as an alternative measure of cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our management and DIRECTV use free cash flow to evaluate the cash generated by our current subscriber base, net of capital expenditures, for the purpose of allocating resources to activities such as adding new subscribers, retaining and upgrading existing subscribers, for additional capital expenditures and other capital investments or transactions and as a measure of performance for incentive compensation purposes. We believe this measure is useful to investors, along with other GAAP measures (such as cash flows from operating and investing activities), to compare our operating performance to other communications, entertainment and media companies. We believe that investors also use current and projected free cash flow to determine the ability of revenues from our current and projected subscriber base to fund required and discretionary spending and to help determine our financial value.

Subscribers. In the second quarter of 2011, net subscriber additions decreased as higher gross additions were more than offset by higher churn resulting from a more competitive environment and ongoing economic weakness.

Revenues. Our revenues increased as a result of the larger subscriber base and higher ARPU. The increase in ARPU resulted primarily from price increases on programming packages and lease fees, as well as higher advanced service fees, partially offset by higher promotional offers to new and existing subscribers.

Operating profit before depreciation and amortization. The improvement of operating profit before depreciation and amortization was primarily due to the increased gross profit generated from the higher revenues, partially offset by higher upgrade and retention costs resulting from a higher volume of advanced equipment upgrades.

Broadcast programming and other costs increased due to annual program supplier rate increases and the larger number of subscribers. Subscriber service expenses increased in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010 primarily due to service quality improvement initiatives and the higher number of subscribers.

Subscriber acquisition costs and subscriber acquisition costs per subscriber, or SAC, which includes the cost of capitalized set-top receivers, increased primarily due to increased demand for advanced products over the second quarter of 2010. Under our lease program we capitalized $150 million of set-top receivers in the second quarter of 2011 and $131 million in the second quarter of 2010 for subscriber acquisitions.

Upgrade and retention costs increased in the second quarter of 2011 due to a more competitive environment and a higher volume of advanced equipment upgrades. Under our lease program we capitalized $76 million of set-top receivers in the second quarter of 2011 and $71 million in the second quarter of 2010 for subscriber upgrades.

Operating profit. The increase in operating profit was primarily due to higher operating profit before depreciation and amortization, coupled with lower depreciation and amortization expense due to the completion of the amortization of a subscriber related intangible asset and decreased subscriber equipment capitalization.

Interest expense. The increase in interest expense was from an increase in the average debt balance compared to 2010.

Income tax expense. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to the higher income before income taxes.

Subscribers. In the first half of 2011, net subscriber additions increased slightly as the higher gross additions were coupled with a higher number of disconnections due to a higher average monthly subscriber churn rate on the larger subscriber base. The increase in churn was principally due to a more competitive environment.

Revenues. Our revenues increased as a result of the larger subscriber base and higher ARPU. The increase in ARPU resulted primarily from price increases on programming packages, higher set-top receiver lease fees and higher advanced service fees, partially offset by higher promotional offers to new and existing subscribers.

Operating profit before depreciation and amortization. The improvement of operating profit before depreciation and amortization was primarily due to the gross profit generated from the higher revenues, partially offset by higher subscriber acquisition and upgrade and retention costs.

Broadcast programming and other costs increased due to annual program supplier rate increases and the larger number of subscribers. Subscriber service expenses increased in the first half of 2011 compared to the first half of 2010 primarily due to the higher number of subscribers.

Subscriber acquisition costs increased primarily due to higher gross additions and higher SAC per subscriber. SAC per subscriber, which includes the cost of capitalized set-top receivers, increased primarily due to increased subscriber demand for advanced products over the first half of 2010 coupled with increased dealer commissions, partially offset by lower marketing costs per subscriber added. Under our lease program we capitalized $324 million of set-top receivers in the first half of 2011 and $246 million of set-top receivers in the first half 2010 for subscriber acquisitions.

Upgrade and retention costs increased in the first half of 2011 due to a higher volume of advanced equipment upgrades. Under our lease program we capitalized $145 million of set-top receivers in the first half of 2011 and $152 million the first half of 2010 for subscriber upgrades.

Interest expense. The increase in interest expense was from an increase in the average debt balance compared to 2010.

Income tax expense. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to the higher income before income taxes.

At June 30, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,296 million compared with $687 million at December 31, 2010. The $609 million increase resulted primarily from $3,990 million of cash proceeds from the issuance of senior notes and $1,650 million in cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by $3,250 million in dividends paid to our Parent, $1,000 million of cash used to repay long-term debt and $762 million of cash paid for property, equipment and satellites.

As of June 30, 2011 we had the ability to borrow up to $2 billion under our revolving credit facility, which is available until February 2016. We are subject to restrictive certain covenants under the credit facility.

As a measure of liquidity, the current ratio (ratio of current assets to current liabilities) was 1.17 at June 30, 2011 and 0.85 at December 31, 2010. The increase in our current ratio during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to the change in our cash and cash equivalents.

We have received capital contributions and have borrowed amounts from our Parent in the past to fund certain transactions. We may also provide dividends to our Parent or fund other cash requirements, including additional share repurchase programs or other distributions to its stockholders. We may use available cash and cash equivalents, cash from operations, or incur additional borrowings to fund such dividends.

We expect to fund our cash requirements and our existing business plan using our available cash balances and cash provided by operations. We may borrow additional amounts in the future to maintain our outstanding long-term debt target of approximately 2.5 times our annual operating profit before depreciation and amortization.Additional borrowings, which may include borrowings under our $2 billion revolving credit facility, may be required to fund strategic investment opportunities should they arise.

Several factors may affect our ability to fund our operations and commitments that we discuss in "Contractual Obligations" and "Contingencies" below. In addition, our future cash flows may be reduced if we experience, among other things, significantly higher subscriber additions than planned, increased subscriber churn or upgrade and retention costs, higher than planned capital expenditures for satellites and broadcast equipment, satellite anomalies or signal theft. Additionally, our ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility is contingent upon us meeting financial and other covenants associated with its facility as more fully described below.

At June 30, 2011, we had $13,462 million in total outstanding borrowings, bearing a weighted average interest rate of 5.2%. Our outstanding borrowings consist of our senior notes as more fully described in Note 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1, Part I of this

Quarterly Report and in Note 7 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, Part II of our 2010 Form 10-K.

Our senior notes mature as follows: $1,000 million in 2014, $1,200 million in 2015 and $11,300 million thereafter.

In February 2011, our senior secured credit facility was terminated and replaced by a new five-year, $2.0 billion revolving credit facility. We pay a commitment fee of .30% per year for the unused commitment under the revolving credit facility, and borrowings will bear interest at an annual rate of (i) the London interbank offer rate (LIBOR) (or for Euro advances the EURIBOR rate) plus 1.50% or at our option (ii) the higher of the prime rate plus 0.50% or the Fed Funds Rate plus 1.00%. The commitment fee and the annual interest rate may be increased or decreased under certain conditions, which include changes in our long-term, unsecured debt ratings. The revolving credit facility has been fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by substantially all of our subsidiaries on a senior unsecured basis.

Covenants and Restrictions. The revolving credit facility requires us to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a specified ratio of indebtedness to adjusted net income. The revolving credit facility also includes covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things, (i) incur additional subsidiary indebtedness, (ii) incur liens, (iii) enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (iv) merge or consolidate with another entity, (v) sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, and (vi) change our lines of business. Additionally, the senior notes contain restrictive covenants that are similar. Should we fail to comply with these covenants, all or a portion of our borrowings under the senior notes could become immediately payable and our revolving credit facility could be terminated. At June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all such covenants. The senior notes and revolving credit facility also provide that the borrowings may be required to be prepaid if certain change-in-control events occur.

The following table sets forth our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2011, including the future periods in which payments are expected. Additional details regarding these obligations are provided in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 referenced in the table below and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

(b): Purchase obligations consist primarily of broadcast programming commitments, service contract commitments and satellite contracts. Broadcast programming commitments include guaranteed minimum contractual commitments that are typically based on a flat fee or a minimum number of required subscribers subscribing to the related programming. Actual payments may exceed the minimum payment requirements if the actual number of subscribers subscribing to the related programming exceeds the minimum amounts. Service contract commitments include minimum commitments for the purchase of services that have been outsourced to third parties, such as billing services, telemetry, tracking and control services and broadcast center services. In most cases, actual payments, which are typically based on volume, usually exceed these minimum amounts.
(c): Certain of our operating leases contain escalation clauses and renewal or purchase options, which we do not consider in the amounts disclosed.
(d): Payments due by period for other long-term liabilities reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet under GAAP do not include payments that could be made related to our net unrecognized tax benefits liability, which amounted to $57 million as of June 30, 2011. The timing and amount of any future payments is not reasonably estimable, as such payments are dependent on the completion and resolution of examinations with tax authorities. We do not expect a significant payment related to these obligations within the next twelve months.

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2011. For additional information, see Item 7. Critical Accounting Estimates in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

For a discussion of "Accounting Changes" see Part I, Item 1, Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report, which we incorporate herein by reference.

The following key terminology is used in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations:

Revenues. We earn revenues mostly from monthly fees we charge subscribers for subscriptions to basic and premium channel programming, HD programming and access fees, pay-per-view programming, and seasonal and live sporting events. We also earn revenues from monthly fees that we charge subscribers with multiple non-leased set-top receivers (which we refer to as mirroring fees), monthly fees we charge subscribers for leased set-top receivers, monthly fees we charge subscribers for

DVR service, hardware revenues from subscribers who lease or purchase set-top receivers from us, warranty service fees and advertising services. Revenues are reported net of customer credits and discounted promotions.

Broadcast Programming and Other. These costs primarily include license fees for subscription service programming, pay-per-view programming, live sports and other events. Other costs include continuing service fees paid to third parties for active subscribers and warranty service costs.

Subscriber Service Expenses. Subscriber service expenses include the costs of customer call centers, billing, remittance processing and certain home services expenses, such as in-home repair costs.

Broadcast Operations Expenses. These expenses include broadcast center operating costs, signal transmission expenses (including costs of collecting signals for our local channel offerings), and costs of monitoring, maintaining and insuring our satellites. Also included are engineering expenses associated with deterring theft of our signal.

Subscriber Acquisition Costs. These costs include the cost of set-top receivers and other equipment, commissions we pay to national retailers, independent satellite television retailers, dealers and telcos, and the cost of installation, advertising, marketing and customer call center expenses associated with the acquisition of new subscribers. Set-top receivers leased to new subscribers are capitalized in "Property and equipment, net" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and depreciated over their useful lives. The amount of set-top receivers capitalized each period for subscriber acquisitions is included in "Cash paid for subscriber leased equipment-subscriber acquisitions" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Upgrade and Retention Costs. Upgrade and retention costs are associated with upgrade efforts for existing subscribers that we believe will result in higher ARPU and lower churn. Our upgrade efforts include subscriber equipment upgrade programs for DVR, HD and HD DVR receivers and local channels, our multiple set-top receiver offer and similar initiatives. Retention costs also include the costs of installing and providing hardware under our movers program for subscribers relocating to a new residence. Set-top receivers leased to existing subscribers under upgrade and retention programs are capitalized in "Property and equipment, net" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and depreciated over their useful lives. The amount of set-top receivers capitalized each period for upgrade and retention programs is included in "Cash paid for subscriber leased equipment-upgrade and retention" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses include departmental costs for legal, administrative services, finance, marketing and information technology. These costs also include expenses for bad debt and other operating expenses, such as legal settlements, and gains or losses from the sale or disposal of fixed assets.

Average Monthly Revenue Per Subscriber. We calculate ARPU by dividing average monthly revenues for the period (total revenues during the period divided by the number of months in the period) by average subscribers for the period. We calculate average subscribers for the period by adding the number of subscribers as of the beginning of the period and for each quarter end in the current year or period and dividing by the sum of the number of quarters in the period plus one.

Average Monthly Subscriber Churn. Average monthly subscriber churn represents the number of subscribers, whose service is disconnected, expressed as a percentage of the average total number of subscribers. We calculate average monthly subscriber churn by dividing the average monthly number of disconnected subscribers for the period (total subscribers disconnected, net of reconnects, during the period divided by the number of months in the period) by average subscribers for the period.

Subscriber Count. The total number of subscribers represents the total number of subscribers actively subscribing to our service, including subscribers who have suspended their account for a particular season of the year because they are temporarily away from their primary residence and subscribers who are in the process of relocating and commercial equivalent viewing units.

SAC. We calculate SAC, which represents total subscriber acquisition costs stated on a per subscriber basis, by dividing total subscriber acquisition costs for the period by the number of gross new subscribers acquired during the period. We calculate total subscriber acquisition costs for the period by adding together "Subscriber acquisition costs" expensed during the period and the amount of cash paid for equipment leased to new subscribers during the period.

We carried out an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Based on the evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Intellectual Property Litigation. We are a defendant in several unrelated lawsuits claiming infringement of various patents relating to various aspects of our businesses. In certain of these cases other industry participants are also defendants, and also in certain of these cases we expect that any potential liability would be the responsibility of our equipment vendors pursuant to applicable contractual indemnification provisions. To the extent that the allegations in these lawsuits can be analyzed by us at this stage of their proceedings, we believe the claims are without merit and intend to defend the actions vigorously. We have determined that the likelihood of a material liability in such matters is remote or have made appropriate accruals and the final disposition of these claims is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position. However, if an adverse ruling is made in a lawsuit involving key intellectual property, such ruling could result in a loss that would be material to our consolidated results of operations of any one period. No assurance can be given that any adverse outcome would not be material to our consolidated financial position.

Other. We are subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. The amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions is not expected to materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Except as discussed below, the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and our Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 have not materially changed. See Part I Item 2 of this Quarterly Report related to "forward-looking statements" which we incorporate by reference.

We have a contract with the National Football League for the exclusive rights to distribute the NFL Sunday Ticket Package to our subscribers. The NFL's collective bargaining agreement with its players expired in March 2011 and the NFL and its players have been engaged in a labor dispute. The NFL and its players recently agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement. Therefore, our risks related to the labor dispute have been resolved and the NFL Sunday Ticket Package will be distributed to our subscribers for the 2011-2012 season pursuant to our contract with the NFL.
