       We are the holder of Pegasus Communications Preferred Stock held for
your account. A tender of such stock can be made and a Consent to the proposed
amendments can be delivered only by us as the holder pursuant to your

proposed amendments.

       We request instructions as to whether you wish to tender any or all of
the Pegasus Communications Preferred Stock held by us for your account and to
consent to the proposed amendments, pursuant to the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum. Your tender of Pegasus
Communications Preferred Stock and delivery of consent to the proposed
amendments will constitute your signature to the Registration Rights Agreement,
as defined in the Offering Memorandum.

       Your instructions to us should be forwarded as promptly as possible in
order to consent to the proposed amendments and to permit us to tender your
stock on your behalf in accordance with the provisions of the Exchange Offer and
the Consent Solicitation. The deadline for holders to qualify to receive the
Pegasus Satellite Preferred Stock is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January
18, 2001 if on such date, the Company has received the Requisite Consents (as

properly tendered may be withdrawn and Consents may be revoked at any time prior
to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Consent Expiration Date.

       We urge you to read carefully the enclosed Letter of Transmittal in
conjunction with the Offering Memorandum before consenting to the proposed
amendments and instructing us to tender your stock or deliver your consent.

      preference of $1,000 per share, for each share of Pegasus Communications
      Preferred Stock exchanged and accepted for payment on the third business
      day following the Exchange Offer Expiration Date, or as soon as possible
      thereafter (the "Settlement Date").

   2. The Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
      January 18, 2001, unless extended or earlier terminated. Consummation of
      the Exchange Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, the receipt
      of the requisite consents to give effect to the proposed amendments and
      the valid and not withdrawn tender of at least a majority of the
      outstanding shares of Pegasus Communications Preferred Stock.

   3. Holders of preferred stock who desire to accept the Exchange Offer must
      consent to the proposed amendments and the execution of an amended
      Certificate of Designation. The valid tender of any preferred stock will
      constitute a consent to the proposed amendments and the execution of an
      amended Certificate of Designation.

   4. If you desire to tender any preferred stock pursuant to the Exchange
      Offer and receive Pegasus Satellite Preferred Stock, we must receive your
      instructions in ample time to permit us to effect a tender of such stock
      on your behalf prior to the Exchange Offer Expiration Date, which is 5:00

   6. The Company's obligation to accept properly tendered and not withdrawn
      Pegasus Communications Preferred Stock for purchase pursuant to the
      Exchange Offer is subject to certain conditions, including, among other
      things, (a) not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of the
      Pegasus Communications Preferred Stock having been validly tendered (and
      not withdrawn) on or prior to the Exchange Offer Expiration Date, and the
      Requisite Consents with respect to the proposed amendments to the Pegasus
      Communications Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation having been
      received and not revoked and (b) the execution by our new holding company
      of an amended Certificate of Designation to the Pegasus Communications
      Preferred Stock implementing the proposed amendments. Consummation of the
      Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation is also subject to certain
      other conditions. See The Exchange Offer and the Consent
      Solicitation--Conditions of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation
      in the Offering Memorandum.

   7. Tenders of Notes may only be withdrawn (and related Consents may be
      revoked thereby) prior to the Consent Expiration Date. Pegasus
      Communications Preferred Stock tendered after the Consent Expiration Date
      may not be withdrawn.

      provided in Instruction 9 of the Letter of Transmittal.

       If you wish to tender any or all of the Pegasus Communications Preferred
Stock held by us for your account and to consent to the proposed amendments,
please so instruct us by completing, executing, detaching and returning to us
the instruction form attached hereto. An envelope to return your instructions
to us is enclosed. If you authorize the tender of your Pegasus Communications
Preferred Stock, all such preferred stock will be tendered unless otherwise
specified on the instruction form. A holder who tenders Pegasus Communications
Preferred Stock pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be deemed, by acceptance of
the Exchange Offer, to consent to the proposed amendments. Your instructions

       The Company is not aware of any jurisdiction in which the making of the
Exchange Offer, the tender of Pegasus Communications Preferred Stock in
connection therewith or the solicitation of Consents would not be in compliance
with the laws of such jurisdiction. If the Company becomes aware of any
jurisdiction in which the making of Exchange Offer or the Consent Solicitation
would not be in compliance with such laws, the Company will make a good faith
effort to comply with any such laws or seek to have such laws declared
inapplicable to the Exchange Offer or the Consent Solicitation. If, after such
good faith effort, the Company cannot comply with any such laws, the Exchange
Offer or the Consent Solicitation will not be made to (nor will tenders or
Consents be accepted from or on behalf of) Holder(s) residing in such
jurisdiction.

       IMPORTANT: The Letter of Transmittal (or a facsimile thereof), together
with the Pegasus Communications Preferred Stock and all other required
documents, or an agent's message, together with a confirmation of book-entry
transfer of Pegasus Communications Preferred Stock, must be received by the
exchange agent prior to the Exchange Offer Expiration Date with respect to
holders wishing to receive the applicable Pegasus Satellite Preferred Stock.
