ITEM 1.           SECURITY AND ISSUER.

          Title of Security:     Class A Common Stock, $0.01 Par Value Per Share

          Issuer:                Pegasus Communications Corporation


                                 c/o Pegasus Communications Management Company
                                 5 Radnor Corporate Center
                                 100 Matsonford Road, Suite 454
                                 Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087


ITEM 2.        IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

         (a)      Richard D. Summe

         (b)      11790 East State Road 334
                  Zionsville, Indiana 46077-9399

         (c)      Investments

         (d)-(e)  During  the  last  five  years,  Mr.  Summe  (i) has not  been
convicted in a criminal  proceeding  (excluding  traffic  violations and similar
misdemeanors)  or (ii) has not been a party to a civil  proceeding of a judicial
or administrative body of competent  jurisdiction as a result of which he was or
is subject to a judgment,  decree or final order enjoining future violations of,
or  prohibiting  activities  subject  to,  federal or state  securities  laws or
finding any violation of such laws.

         (f)      U.S.A.


ITEM 3.           SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         Mr.  Summe  originally  acquired  the 284,719  shares of Class A Common
Stock,  $0.01 par value per share (the "Class A Shares"),  of Issuer pursuant to
the acquisition (the "Merger") of DBS of Indiana,  Inc., an Indiana  corporation
("DBS"), by Issuer. The Merger was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Merger,  dated  January  21,  1997,  by  and  among  Issuer,  Pegasus  Satellite
Television of Indiana,  Inc., a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Issuer ("PSTI"), and
DBS (the "Agreement").

         Upon  consummation of the Merger on January 31, 1997, all of the issued
and  outstanding  shares of common stock, no par value, of DBS (the "DBS Stock")
were converted into (1) cash in an aggregate amount equal to approximately  $5.3
million  and (2)  Class A  Shares  having  an  aggregate  Closing  Value of $5.6
million. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, "Closing

                                   Page 3 of 7

<PAGE>



Value" was defined as the last reported sale price of the Class A Shares between
a buyer and a seller that are not  affiliates  of Issuer on the Nasdaq  National
Market System on the third  business day before the closing date, or, if no such
sale is made on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked price on such
system on such day.  As such,  the  Closing  Value per share in the  Merger  was
$12.00.

     Prior to the Merger,  Mr.  Summe owned 2,740  shares  (61.01%) of the 4,491
issued  and  outstanding  shares of DBS Stock.  Therefore,  Mr.  Summe  received
$3,256,143 in cash and 284,719 Class A Shares as Merger consideration.

     Prior to the Merger, Mr. Summe purchased 4,000 additional Class A Shares in
the open market.

     On December  30,  1997,  Mr.  Summe  gifted an  aggregate of 12,750 Class A
Shares to four churches.  As such, as of that date, Mr. Summe  beneficially owns
275,969 Class A Shares.


ITEM 4.           PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         (a)  -  (j)  Prior  to   consummation   of  the   Merger,   DBS  was  a
privately-owned  provider of DIRECTV  services.  Pursuant to its  operating  and
acquisition  strategy,  Issuer contacted DBS concerning the possible acquisition
of DBS by  Issuer.  Negotiations  between  the  two  parties  ensued  until  the
Agreement was finalized. The Merger was consummated on January 31, 1997; and, as
described  above  in  response  to  Item  3,  the  consideration   paid  to  the
shareholders of DBS in the Merger included Class A Shares.


ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

          (a)  Mr.  Summe  beneficially  owns  275,969  Class  A  Shares,  which
               represent  approximately 4.8% of all issued and outstanding Class
               A Shares. Mr. Summe is the sole owner of these Class A Shares.

          (b)  Sole Voting Power:                 275,969
               Shared Voting Power:                     0
               Sole Dispositive Power:            275,969
               Shared Dispositive Power:                0

          (c)  On December  30,  1997,  Mr.  Summe gifted an aggregate of 12,750
               Class A Shares to four  churches.  As such, as of that date,  Mr.
               Summe  beneficially owns 275,969 Class A Shares,  which represent
               approximately  4.8% of all issued and outstanding Class A Shares.
               Since Mr. Summe no longer beneficially owns more than 5.0% of the
               outstanding  Class A  Shares,  he no  longer  is  subject  to the
               reporting  requirements of Rules 13d-1 to 13d-6 of the Securities
               Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

         (e)      December 30, 1997


ITEM 6.           CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDING OR RELATIONSHIPS
                  WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         As  part  of  the  consummation  of  the  Merger  and  pursuant  to the
provisions of the Agreement,  Mr. Summe and the other former shareholders of DBS
entered into an Escrow  Agreement  with Issuer,  PSTI and Schroder  Bank & Trust
Company, as Escrow Agent (the "Escrow Agreement"). Pursuant to the provisions of
the Escrow  Agreement,  Mr. Summe  deposited  into escrow  35,588 of his Class A
Shares  with the Escrow  Agent to insure  DBS'  indemnification  obligations  to
Issuer under the  Agreement.  Mr. Summe  maintains  sole voting and  dispositive
power over these Class A Shares.

         Also as part of the  consummation  of the  Merger and  pursuant  to the
provisions of the Agreement,  Mr. Summe and the other former shareholders of DBS
entered  into  a  Stockholders'   Agreement  with  Issuer  (the   "Stockholders'
Agreement").  Pursuant to the provisions of the Stockholders' Agreement and upon
certain conditions described therein, Mr. Summe has the option to have his Class
A Shares  included  in any  registration  by the  Issuer  of Class A Shares  (or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or options to purchase, Class A
Shares) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act").

         In addition, pursuant to the provisions of the Stockholders' Agreement,
whenever,  during the period ending  January 31, 1999 (unless the holding period
under Rule 144 under the 1933 Act shall be reduced to a shorter period, in which
case during such shorter  period),  Mr. Summe desires to sell or transfer any of
his Class A Shares in a private  transaction  exempt from registration under the
1933 Act and  applicable  "blue sky" laws,  Issuer shall have a 30-day option to
purchase  such  Class A  Shares  for the  price  being  offered  in the  private
transaction. If such option is unexercised within 30 days, Mr. Summe can sell or
transfer such Class A Shares in the private transaction.
