Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 7, 2011, DIRECTV Holdings LLC (“ Holdings”) and DIRECTV Financing Co., Inc. (“Finance Co” and collectively with Holdings, the “Issuers”), which are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of DIRECTV, entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated as representatives of the several underwriters signatory thereto (collectively, the “ Underwriters”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Issuers agreed to issue and sell, and the Underwriters agreed to purchase for resale to the public, $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 3.500% senior notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”), $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 5.000% senior notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”), and $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 6.375% senior notes due 2041 (the “2041 Notes” and, together with the 2016 Notes and the 2021 Notes, the “Notes”).

On March 10, 2011, the Issuers, completed their public offering of the Notes. The Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated as of August 17, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 10, 2011 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), each between the Issuers, the Guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”).

The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Issuers and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ existing and future senior debt and rank senior in right of payment to all of the issuers’ future subordinated debt, if any. The Notes are guaranteed (the “Guarantees” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”) by all of Holdings’ material existing domestic subsidiaries and by certain of its future domestic subsidiaries on a joint and several basis (the “Guarantors”). Neither the parent company of the Issuers, The DIRECTV Group, Inc., nor its parent company, DIRECTV, nor their respective subsidiaries, other than Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries and Finance Co., are obligors or guarantors of the Notes. Interest accrues on the Notes from March 10, 2011 and interest will be paid semiannually in cash in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year commencing on September 1, 2011.

Among other things, the Indenture provides that the Notes are redeemable in whole or in part at the option of the Issuers at a redemption price equal to the greater of the principal amount of the Notes and a “make whole” price equal to sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and subject to the right of holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) discounted from their scheduled date of payment to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis using a discount rate equal to: (i) the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points in the case of the 2016 Notes, (ii) the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points in the case of the 2021 Notes and (iii) the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points in the case of the 2041 Notes, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $3.97 billion. The Issuers intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include a distribution to Issuers’ parent which it may use to fund its share repurchase plan or for other corporate purposes.

The Notes were offered and sold by the Issuers pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-172641) (the “Registration Statement”).

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Base Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and to the full text of the Second Supplemental Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 4.2 hereto.
