HERNDON, VA - April 14, 2008 - Home2US (www.home2us.com), a leading provider of top international television and radio programming to ethnic audiences throughout the U.S. and beyond, today announced it has inked a major agreement with Elite Entertainment Television to help launch a new direct-to-home television service across Colombia, South America. 

As part of the multi-year, multi-million-dollar deal, Home2US has been selected to provide DTH expertise and know-how, distribute content, set top box equipment, conditional access, and subscriber management solutions critical to the success of Elite's new television offering.
