Press Release Summary = Backorders are filled and Terrestrial Digital's PF7 picture
frame HDTV antenna supply is back to normal after rash of publicity started on NBC's
The Today Show.

Press Release Body = March 7, 2007: ST. LOUIS, MO - St. Louis-based HDTV antenna
manufacturer Terrestrial Digital is finally starting to breathe a sigh of relief.
The PF7, the company's HDTV antenna disguised as a picture frame, is now back in
stock at antennasdirect.com after three months of record breaking sales.

The company had the best type of problem on their hands beginning in December of
last year. The PF7 was featured on NBC's The Today Show, alongside big screen
HDTV's, the Nintendo Wii and Sony's Playstation 3, as one of the best gadget gifts
for guys. The problem? Within hours of the program airing, demand went above and
beyond supply. It even went beyond the product orders they had placed in
anticipation of the buzz.

"It's a little bit surreal to see Matt Lauer and one of the Senior Editors at
CNet.com talking about your product on national television," Terrestrial Digital
President Richard Schneider said. But when the Today Show segment ran, the reality
of the situation sunk in and stormed us with more orders and demand than we could
have anticipated."

Over the course of the next three months, the company was also featured on CNBC's On
the Money, in Newsweek Magazine and in several national daily papers including the
St. Louis Post Dispatch and the Boston Globe. With the increased coverage, demand
for Schneider's picture frame antenna and the company's entire product line grew as
well.

According to Schneider, the company's natural sales cycle always tends to slow a bit
just after the Super Bowl. This year's lull has been less substantial than in
previous years, but has still allowed Terrestrial Digital to replenish their supply
and focus attention on their new products in the pipeline.

According to Schneider, the company plans to announce major breakthroughs in antenna
design and performance research with the introduction of its Lacrosse Micron line of
antennas, due out later this year. Plans are also in the works for additional
indoor low profile antennas that can be disguised as other household objects.

Schneider started Terrestrial Digital in 2003, after becoming frustrated with the
poor performance of several HDTV antennas he had tried. He has continued to grow
the company to develop the premium products in the industry.

Terrestrial Digital is a St. Louis based manufacturer and distributor of off air
HDTV antennas. The company was founded by Richard Schneider, and is widely
