	In 1998 ODG launched the Front Row NVOD pay per view movie service over the UK cable network.
	In 2002, we created a non-exclusive strategic partnership with SeaChange International to develop VOD opportunities worldwide.
	In 2005, SeaChange International announced the acquisition of the remaining 72% of our outstanding capital stock. FilmFlex was launched in the UK, in 2005, as a result of our joint venture with Walt Disney and Sony Pictures, to provide a high quality on-demand movie service. ODG worked closely with ntl to achieve the launch of their video on demand services in January 2005, providing content management, roll out and programme management services. The company now acts as sole content management partner for all Virgin Media's TV On Demand services.
	In November 2006 ODG announced the launch of its wholly owned movie pay-per-view service - Select Kino. Available to subscribers of Kabel Deutschland's (KDG) cable network in Germany.
	In February 2007 ODG formed a joint venture with Tele München Gruppe to build pay-per-view and video-on-demand services in Germany and German speaking countries. Tele München Gruppe is a fully integrated media corporation, which is able to exploit all audio-visual rights through its own distribution channels. In April 2007 On Demand Deutschland announced that it had taken over the management of the pay-per-view movie service for Unity Media, parent company of the German cable network operators ish (north Rhine-Westphalia) and iesy (Hesse).
	In January 2008 ODG announced the sale of the stake in FilmFlex to Sony Pictures Television International and Walt Disney Television International, although ODG continues to handle content management and on screen creative production for the FilmFlex service. In February 2008 On Demand Deutschland (ODD), the joint venture of On Demand Group (ODG) and Tele München Gruppe (TMG), announced a deal whereby ODD will supply the video on demand (VOD) content services and on-screen production to Telekom Austria’s Aon TV VOD service.
