Fox Soccer Channel teams with Vividas to stream Barclays English Premier League
                               matches in the USA

Vividas (VDS.L), the video streaming technology company, announces that it has
reached a three year agreement with Fox Soccer Channel ("FSC") to stream
Barclays Premier League ("BPL") matches in the USA.

Using Vividas VivStream PPV streaming technology, FSC, part of the Fox Cable
Networks group, owned by News Corporation, will stream multiple BPL games every
week. Matches will be available on FSC's popular web site www.foxsoccer.com. The
three year agreement also includes plans to add live streaming of other top-tier
football events including FA Cup fixtures and UEFA Cup matches as well as select
European Championship Qualifiers. As part of the BPL subscription packages,
viewers also will be offered the ability to view classic matches from the
English Premier League archive.

The agreement follows successful streaming trials of 10 live matches from the
2007 Copa Libertadores (the South American equivalent of the Champions League)
and European Championship qualifiers. Users were able to view full matches in
high quality full screen resolution.

Over 150 matches annually will be offered to a U.S. audience on a pay per view,
subscription and advertising-supported basis. Matches will be available at
prices from $4 to $8 depending on whether they are available live or on a
delayed basis. A season-long subscription package is also expected.

Paul Neville, Chief Executive of Vividas, stated, "This is fantastic news for
Vividas and supports our belief that Vividas provides the best streaming
solution in the marketplace, offering full screen quality, reach and cost
efficiencies through http streaming. We are delighted that FSC has chosen to
work with us. FSC clearly recognises the benefits of using the Vividas
technology which will give its audiences a true TV experience."

David Sternberg, Executive Vice President and General Manager, FSC, said, ''The
Barclays Premier League is the worlds best soccer and with the start of our new
three year broadcast agreement with the Premier League, FSC is committed to
delivering these games to the widest audience possible. Vividas' streaming
technology is uniquely suited to deliver this thrilling content. The quality
full-screen experience that customers will experience will change the way people
think of Internet video. ''
