Insight Communications To Launch Enhanced Video Services

New York – October 22, 2003 –

Insight Communications (Nasdaq: ICCI) will launch enhanced video services to its Insight Digital customers, including the ongoing delivery of HDTV and Insight's new digital video recorder (DVR) service on a single box solution, beginning in December. Michael S. Willner, President and CEO, made the announcement.

"The introduction and integration of these advanced services presents an array of exciting enhancements and future opportunities on our pioneering Insight Digital service," said Willner. "As DVR and HDTV demand continue to rise, this solution will deliver even further value to our interactive platform."

In addition to HDTV and DVR services, the advanced platform will include enhanced gaming capabilities and more dynamic graphics, as well as additional capacity for future applications. Using the DCT6208, Motorola's next-generation advanced digital set-top, Insight's HDTV and DVR services will also be integrated with On Demand TV, Insight's current VOD service, and will be supported by TV Guide Interactive, marking the IPG's debut with Insight. The cost for the enhanced digital service will be $12.95 monthly, a $5.00 premium over the company's standard Digital Gateway Service.

Insight's DVR product will feature an 80 GB hard drive, providing up to 60 hours of standard definition and up to 10 hours of high-definition digital recording. It will be available in the following Insight systems: Anderson, Lafayette, Kokomo, Evansville, and Bloomington, Ind.; Louisville, Lexington, and Covington, Ky.; Columbus, Ohio; and Rockford, Peoria, Springfield, and Champaign/Urbana, Ill.
