   The India leading satellite operator renews its contract for Technicolor
                               MediaPlay STBs 

Paris (France), 18 February  2013 - Technicolor  (Euronext Paris : TCH)  today 
announced that  it has  won two  extension contracts  from Tata  Sky,  India's 
leading satellite operator with over  8  million subscribers. Pursuant to  the 
long standing relationship between both parties and the commercial success  of 
its high-definition (HD)  and standard-definition (SD)  digital TV  offerings, 
Tata Sky has  granted Technicolor, until  mid 2015, extension  of the  initial 
contracts for the STBs already delivered over the past years :  

  * The HD-enabled zapper (MediaPlay DSI715) is optimized to deliver all
    essential features at low cost while enabling future-proof services such
    as video on demand.
  *  The SD satellite zapper (MediaPlay DSI309) has been tailored to Tata
    Sky's needs and enables MPEG-4 decoding in a compact design.

Michel Rahier, President  of Technicolor's Connected  Home division, said  "We 
are very proud to support  the commercial success of  Tata Sky in its  digital 
television services. As a  long standing partner of  Tata Sky, the renewal  of 
the previous contracts awarded up to two years ago proves us that we have been
able to  build  a  strong relationship  thanks  to  the high  quality  of  our 
products".

"Technicolor's solutions have  met our  expectations in  terms of  reliability 
because we want  to guarantee  a trouble  free experience  for our  customers. 
 They also help meet our Total Cost of Ownership requirement, which is key for
an operator with a large subscriber base like ours. The latest agreements mark
the continuation of  our trusted  relationship with  Technicolor" added  Harit 
Nagpal, Managing Director & CEO of Tata Sky.

Deliveries of these set-top boxes are scheduled from 3Q 2013 to 2Q 2015, while

Sky.

on demand,  wireless streaming  or Over-The-Top services.  Truly committed  to
