             SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED FEBRUARY 18, 1998

          1,000,000 Shares of Common Stock Offered for Resale;
        Up to 100,000 Shares of Common Stock Underlying Warrants,
Which Shares are being Registered for Resale upon Exercise of the Warrants;
  Up to 7,500,000 Shares of Common Stock Convertible from Preferred Stock,
 Which  Shares  are  being Registered for Resale upon  Conversion  of  the
                             Preferred Stock.

                UNIVIEW TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION

     This  Prospectus covers an aggregate total of 8,600,000  (estimated)
shares  of  Common  Stock,  par value $.01 per share  (the  "Shares")  of
uniView   Technologies  Corporation,  formerly  Curtis   Mathes   Holding
Corporation, a Texas corporation (the "Company.")  1,000,000  Shares  are
being  offered  for  the  account  of security  holders  in  a  secondary
offering;  up to 100,000 Shares underlying Warrants are being  registered
for  resale  upon  the  exercise of Warrants; and  up  to  a  maximum  of
7,500,000 (estimated) shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion  of
the  Company's  Series  N  Convertible Preferred  Stock  (the  "Preferred
Stock")  are being registered for resale upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock.  The common and preferred security holders and the warrant holders
are  hereinafter referred to as the "Selling Stockholders."  See "Selling
Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution."
     
     The  number  of Shares included in this Prospectus as "Common  Stock
Convertible  from Preferred Stock," is based on a conversion price  which
represents  an  average closing bid price of the Common Stock  over  five
consecutive trading days immediately prior to conversion.  The  Preferred
Stock  is  not  convertible  until  after  this  Prospectus  is  declared
effective,  and the actual conversion price and number of  actual  Shares
issuable  upon conversion cannot be precisely determined until such  time
as  the Preferred Stock is actually converted.  However, pursuant to  the
Registration  Rights  Agreement between the  Company  and  the  preferred
security holders, the Company agreed to include in this Prospectus  twice
the  number  of Shares that would have been issuable as if the  Preferred
Stock  had  been converted on October 15, 1997, the closing date  of  the
transaction.   Such conversion price is used merely for the  purposes  of
estimating and setting forth a number of shares for this Prospectus.  The
actual  number of Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred  Stock
is  subject  to adjustment depending on the actual date of conversion  in
the  future  and  could be materially less or more  than  such  estimated
amount,  depending on factors which cannot be predicted  by  the  Company
including,  among  other things, the future market price  of  the  Common
Stock.   See  "Risk Factors - Possible Volatility of Stock  Price."   The
Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling
Stockholders of the Shares to which this Prospectus relates.  The Company
will  only  receive an economic benefit upon conversion of the  Preferred
Stock and the exercise of the warrants held by the Selling Stockholders.
                                    
ANY INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREIN INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF
    RISK.  SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 5 OF THIS PROSPECTUS.

 AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION

<PAGE>
                          RISK FACTORS

     The  following factors should be considered, together with the other
information  in  this  Prospectus, in evaluating  an  investment  in  the
Company.    When   used   in  this  Prospectus,  the   words   "expects,"
"anticipates,"  "estimates"  and  similar  expressions  are  intended  to
identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements, which may  include
statements contained in the following "Risk Factors" section, are subject
to  risks and uncertainties, discussed in greater detail in this  section
below  and elsewhere in this Prospectus, that could cause actual  results
to  differ materially from those projected or discussed.  These  forward-
looking  statements  speak only as of the date of this  Prospectus.   The
Company  expressly  disclaims any obligation or  undertaking  to  release
publicly any updates or change in the Company's expectations with  regard
thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any
such statement may be based.

Prior Claims on Future Earnings

     One  of the Company's subsidiaries, Curtis Mathes Corporation (CMC),
is currently operating under a six-year plan of reorganization, effective
October  1,  1992 (the "Plan").  Until termination of the Plan,  1/2%  of
gross  sales  of  CMC,  if any, must be paid monthly  to  a  "Liquidating
Trustee," which has been designated by the Bankruptcy Court to administer
such  payments on behalf of unsecured creditors in the order of priority.
CMC  was  the operating entity which historically sold commodity consumer
electronics   products  (televisions,  VCR's,  camcorders,  and   related
products)  to  consumers.  In early 1996, CMC sold all of  its  remaining
inventory  to a third party and negotiated a satisfaction of its  primary
debt  obligation  with  Deutsche Financial Services Corporation  ("DFS").
CMC  has  had  no sales since that time. However, in the event  CMC  does
generate  any future revenue, its profitability will be affected  to  the
extent of the required payments.

Warranty Claims

     Beyond the claim of the Trustee on any potential future earnings  of
CMC,  and as required by the Plan, CMC remains obligated to service  past
outstanding product warranties. Cash balances were set aside, as required
by  the Plan, to cover a portion of these estimated past product warranty
costs.  CMC has additionally in the past reserved a portion of the  total
product  sales price to cover estimated product warranty costs.  Although
management  believes that the amount reserved is adequate to  meet  claim
requirements  based upon historical data, there can be no assurance  that
the   reserves  will  always  cover  warranty  claims  filed  during  any
particular  period.   If  warranty claims during  any  particular  period
exceed projections, the Company must cover such claims out of its current
cash  flow or other operating capital, thereby reducing the profitability
of  the  Company during such periods.  Many of the warranties on products
sold  in the past are expiring, and due to lower product sales by CMC  in
the   past   few  years,  remaining  warranty  obligations   are   slowly
diminishing; however, until expiration of these past outstanding  product
warranties,  the Company's profitability will be affected to  the  extent
the  current  required  warranty expenditures exceed  the  cash  reserves
designated for that purpose.
<PAGE>
Increase in Cost of Finished Goods

     uniView  Marketing  Corporation  ("UMC"),  formerly  Curtis   Mathes
Marketing  Corporation, the operating entity which designed  and  markets
the  Company's well known uniViewT Internet access product, is  dependent
upon  outside  sources  for manufacturing and assembly  of  all  finished
goods,  and is therefore subject to increases in the cost of such  goods.
Such  costs  are  typically stable in the short term  because  parts  and
components  are  provided  to  UMC pursuant to  seasonal  contracts  with
suppliers  at  an agreed cost.  However, there can be no  assurance  that
such  costs  will  not increase significantly in the  future.   Any  such
increase  in cost would either have to be absorbed by UMC, or would  have
to  be reflected in the sale price of the products at the consumer level,
which could in turn affect product sales levels.

Variable Economy

     The  consumer  electronics industry is influenced  significantly  by
general  economic  conditions, including consumer behavior  and  consumer
confidence, the level of personal discretionary spending, interest  rates
and  credit  availability.  Variations in the general  economy  affecting
expendable  consumer dollars impacts a consumer's willingness  to  expend
monies   for   the   Company's  product  lines,  which  translates   into
fluctuations in sales volumes for the Company.  There can be no assurance
that  a  prolonged  economic downturn would not have a  material  adverse
effect upon the profitability of the Company.

Excessive Inventory Levels

     The  market for consumer electronics products continues to be driven
by  technological changes that are inherent to the industry.   Management
makes  every effort to maintain ample inventory to meet short  term  sale
requirements.   However,  the Company is in the same  position  as  other
consumer electronics companies in attempting to accurately gauge consumer
demand, and there can be no assurance of sufficient consumer reaction and
demand  upon  the  Company's  product  lines  in  the  future  to   avoid
accumulating  excessive  inventory levels.  In the  event  that  consumer
demand  is less than reasonably estimated, inventory on hand could exceed
the  minimally acceptable levels, resulting in reduced cash flows  and  a
further  restriction  on  the  use  of the  Company's  capital  which  is
dedicated  to the inventory.  Excessive inventory levels could also  lead
to inventory obsolescence, which is discussed in the following section.

Inventory Obsolescence

     Closely  tied to excessive inventory levels is the risk of inventory
obsolescence.  If inventory on hand reaches such a level that new  models
of  products  cannot  be  rotated  for sale  to  the  consumer  within  a
reasonable  period of time, the risk will increase that the  Company  may
not be able to sell the older models at the expected margin, resulting in
markdowns to move the products, all of which affects the profitability of
the Company.
<PAGE>
Dependence on New Product Introduction

     The  Company's future success will depend to a great extent upon the
timely  introduction and market acceptance of successful new products  to
the  marketplace,  such as the uniView Internet access  product  and  the
uniView  XpresswayT  Internet Service Provider  and  Online  Service.   A
significant delay in the introduction of, or the presence of a defect in,
one or more of these new products could have a material adverse effect on
the  ultimate  success  of such products and on the  Company's  business,
operating  results and financial condition, particularly in view  of  the
seasonality of the Company's business related to the uniView set top box.
Further,  because  of  the  revenue  typically  associated  with  initial
shipments of a new product, delaying a product introduction expected near
the  end  of  a fiscal quarter may materially adversely affect  operating
results  for that quarter.  The process of developing television Internet
access  products  containing  software-related  components  such  as  the
uniView  and  uniView Xpressway is extremely complex and is  expected  to
become  more  complex and expensive in the future as  new  platforms  and
technologies  are introduced or incorporated.  This new  technology  also
requires  and  depends upon externally manufactured hardware  components,
such as file servers, routers, modems, and other similar devices commonly
used  in  the  computer industry, but not yet used on a  wide  scale  for
television Internet access products.

     In  the past, the Company has experienced delays in the introduction
of  certain  new  products.  The Company anticipates that  there  may  be
similar  delays in developing and introducing new products in the  future
and  there  can  be no assurance that new products will be introduced  on
schedule  in  the future or at all.  Further, the market  for  these  new
products  is  evolving  and, in comparison with the  overall  market  for
consumer   electronics  and  Internet  access  products,  is   considered
relatively  small, making it difficult to predict with any assurance  the
future  growth  rate and size of the market.  There can be  no  assurance
that   new  products  introduced  by  the  Company  will  achieve  market
acceptance or generate significant revenues.

Changes in Technology and Industry Standards

     The  consumer electronics and Internet access industry is undergoing
rapid  changes,  including  evolving  industry  standards,  frequent  new
product   introductions   and  changes  in  consumer   requirements   and
preferences.   The  introduction  of new technologies  and  products  can
render  the  Company's  existing  and  announced  products  obsolete   or
unmarketable.    The  development  cycle  for  products   utilizing   new
technology  may  be  significantly  longer  than  the  Company's  current
development  cycle for products on  existing and proposed technology  and
may  require  the Company to invest resources in products  that  may  not
become  profitable.  There can be no assurance that the  expected  demand
for  the Company's products will materialize or continue or that the  mix
of   the   Company's  future  product  offerings  will  keep  pace   with
technological  changes or satisfy evolving consumer preferences  or  that
the  Company  will  be  successful  in developing  and  marketing  future
products.   Failure  to  develop and introduce new products  and  product
enhancements in a timely fashion could have a material adverse effect  on
the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

     Television  Internet  access  products  containing  software-related
components  as  complex as those recently introduced by the  Company  may
contain  undetected errors when first introduced.  As any such undetected
errors  become known to the Company, delays or lost revenues  during  the
period required to correct these errors can be expected.  The Company has
experienced   delays  and  significant  technical  support  expenses   in
connection with products in the past and there can be no assurance  that,
despite  testing by the Company, errors will not be found in new products
or releases after commencement of commercial shipments, resulting in loss
of  or  delay  in market acceptance, which could have a material  adverse
effect  on  the  Company's  business,  operating  results  and  financial
condition.

Limited Protection of Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights;  Risk
of Litigation

     The  Company  regards  its  television  Internet  access  technology
containing   software-related  components  as  proprietary   and   relies
primarily on a combination of trademark, copyright and trade secret laws,
employee  and third-party nondisclosure agreements, and other methods  to
protect  these proprietary rights.  As the number of television  Internet
access products in the industry increases and the functionality of  these
products overlap, infringement claims may also increase.  There can be no
assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims  against
the Company in the future with respect to current or future products.  As
is common in the industry, from time to time the Company receives notices
from  third parties claiming infringement of intellectual property rights
of  such parties.  The Company investigates these claims and responds  as
it  deems  appropriate.   Policing  unauthorized  use  of  the  Company's
products is also difficult and can be expected to be a recurring problem.
Further,  the  Company  enters  into  transactions  in  countries   where
intellectual property laws are not well developed or are poorly enforced.
Legal  protections  of the Company's rights may be  ineffective  in  such
countries, and software-related products developed in such countries  may
not  be  protectable  in  jurisdictions where  protection  is  ordinarily
available.   Any  claim or litigation, with or without  merit,  could  be
costly  and could result in a diversion of management's attention,  which
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating
results  and financial condition.  Adverse determinations in such  claims
or  litigation could also have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition.

Dependence on Distribution Channels

     UMC  expects  to  sell  its  products through  consumer  electronics
stores,  computer stores, mail order companies, direct mail, and  through
the  Internet.   Sales to a limited number of distributors and  retailers
are anticipated to constitute a substantial portion of UMC's net revenues
related  to  uniView.   Minimum  purchase obligations  of  any  principal
distributor  or  retailer  are not expected to  be  significant  and  the
Company  expects  to sell on a purchase order basis without  a  long-term
agreement  to a majority of these entities.  The loss of, or  significant
reduction  in  sales attributable to, any of these distribution  channels
could  materially  adversely  affect the  Company's  business,  operating
results  and financial condition.  Distribution and retailing  businesses
in  the  consumer electronics industry have from time to time experienced
significant fluctuations in their businesses and there have been a number
<PAGE>
of  business  failures among these entities.  The insolvency or  business
failure  of  any  significant distributor or retailer  of  the  Company's
products  could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition.

Seasonality of the Industry

     UMC  is  expected to be subject to decreased sales and profitability
on  the uniView line of products during the first and second quarters  of
each  calendar year, resulting from the seasonal effect of  the  consumer
buying  season.  Its operations must be supplemented during such  periods
through  its  reserves  or  through  other  operations  of  the  Company.
Although the Company typically plans ahead for this seasonal variation in
product sales, there can be no assurance that past budgetary expectations
will be adequate to cover such periods in the future.

Highly Competitive Industry

     The  industry  in  which  the  Company  operates  is  intensely  and
increasingly competitive and includes a large number of Internet  service
providers  and  both  domestic  and  foreign  manufacturers  of  consumer
electronics  products.  Competition occurs principally in  the  areas  of
style,  quality, functionality, service, design and price.   The  Company
has  positioned  itself  over the years in a  niche  market  of  high-end
consumer  electronics  home  entertainment products  and  has  chosen  to
compete  primarily  on quality, rather than price and  volume.   However,
competition from competitors, with greater financial resources  than  the
Company,  could  adversely  affect the  Company's  operating  results  by
forcing it to reduce its sales prices, offer enhanced credit arrangements
including   longer   payment  terms,  increase  customer   discounts   or
incentives,  increase spending for co-operative advertising  arrangements
with  customers,  incur  additional  shipping  costs,  or  provide  other
services which could adversely affect the profitability of the Company.

     It  is  already apparent that competition in the area of  television
Internet  access products and Internet service providers will be intense.
With  the  announcement of similar television Internet access devices  by
several existing and start-up consumer electronics companies and, to  the
extent that these competitors achieve product and brand name recognition,
product quality, price or other selling advantages, the Company could  be
adversely affected.  There can be no assurance that the Company will have
the  resources required to respond effectively to market or technological
changes or to compete successfully in the future.

Off-Balance Sheet Risks

     An  "off-balance sheet risk" is one in which the ultimate obligation
of the Company may exceed the amount reported in the liability section of
the  financial statements and which may be triggered by the default of  a
third  party  on  an  obligation upon which the Company  is  contingently
liable.   CMC  is a party to financial instruments with such  off-balance
sheet risks to meet the financing requirements of former CMC dealers.  In
the  normal  course  of  business, CMC has transferred  receivables  from
qualified  dealers  to  Deutsche Financial Services  Corporation  ("DFS")
under  a repurchase agreement.  The agreement requires CMC, in the  event
of  default  by  the  dealer, to repurchase property that  is  collateral
(inventory consisting of consumer electronics products) for the financing
provided  to  the  dealer.  CMC is contingently liable  to  DFS  for  the
portion  of  the  receivable  which is defaulted  through  nonpayment  or
<PAGE>
nonrecovery  of  the  collateral. This  amount  is  partially  offset  by
recovery of unsold products from such dealers, which can then be  resold.
As  dealer  defaults  occur  in the future and  the  Company  honors  its
repurchase obligations, the profitability of the Company could be reduced
accordingly.

Absence of Profitable Operations in Recent Periods

     The  Company has reported a net loss in each of its last five fiscal
years.   The Company purchased a computer chip company, Southwest Memory,
Inc.  ("SWM") in December, 1992.  It purchased CMC in November, 1993  and
sold  SWM  in December, 1994.  In late 1994, UMC acquired the  rights  to
RealViewTM,  a  ten foot square projection television used in  commercial
advertising  applications.   In April, 1996,  UMC  began  development  of
uniView,  its  television Internet access product.  In late 1996  another
subsidiary,   uniView  Xpressway  Corporation,  initiated   the   uniView
Xpressway  and  offers its services as an Internet Service  Provider  and
Online  Service.  Although the character of the Company has changed  over
the  past  couple of years, and management believes that operations  will
improve,  there  is a limited operating history for the  Company  in  its
present  form and there can be no assurance that the present  combination
of operating segments will be profitable in the future.

Limited Cash Flow

     In  recent years, the Company has not achieved a positive cash  flow
from  operations.  Accordingly, the Company relies  on  available  credit
arrangements  and  continued sales of its common and preferred  stock  to
fund  operations  until  a  positive cash flow  from  operations  can  be
achieved.  If the Company is unable to achieve a positive cash flow  from
operations,   additional  financing  or  placements  will  be   required.
Management continually evaluates opportunities with various investors  to
raise  additional  capital,  without  which,  the  Company's  growth  and
profitability  could  be restricted.  Although management  believes  that
sufficient  financing resources are available, there can be no  assurance
that  such resources will continue to be available to the Company or that
they will be available upon terms favorable to the Company.

Dependence on Key Personnel

     The  Company's  success  depends to  a  significant  extent  on  the
performance  and continued service of its senior management  and  certain
key  employees.  Competition for highly skilled employees with technical,
management,  marketing, sales, product development and other  specialized
training is intense, and there can be no assurance that the Company  will
be  successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.  Specifically,
the Company may experience increased costs in order to attract and retain
skilled employees.  In addition, there can be no assurance that employees
will not leave the Company or compete against the Company.  The Company's
failure  to  attract  additional qualified employees  or  to  retain  the
services of key personnel could materially adversely affect the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition.

Possible Volatility of Stock Price

     The  stock  market  has recently experienced significant  price  and
volume   fluctuations  that  could  continue  in   the   future.    These
fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of the Common  Stock
without regard to the Company's operating performance.  The market  price
<PAGE>
for shares of the Company's Common Stock has varied significantly and may
be volatile depending on news announcements and changes in general market
conditions.   The  Company  believes  that  factors  such  as   quarterly
variations in the Company's financial results or the financial results of
competitors,   general   industry   conditions,   including   competitive
developments, and general economic conditions could also cause  uncertain
price  fluctuations in the Common Stock.  In addition, the  shares  being
registered  under this Prospectus will become eligible for  sale  in  the
public  market  after the Registration Statement becomes effective.   The
shares  are  expected to have no underwriters and will therefore  not  be
subject  to  underwriter price stabilization transactions.  No prediction
can  be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of such securities,  or
the  availability of such securities for sale, will have  on  the  market
prices prevailing from time to time for the Common Stock.  However,  even
the  possibility  that  a substantial number of the Company's  securities
may,  in  the  near  future, be sold in the public market  may  adversely
affect prevailing market prices for the Common Stock and could impair the
Company's  ability  to  raise capital through  the  sale  of  its  equity
securities.
     
Risks Related to Under-Priced Stocks
     
     The  Common Stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap  Market
("Nasdaq").   In order to continue to be listed on Nasdaq,  however,  the
Company  must,  as  of  February 23, 1998,  maintain  $2,000,000  in  net
tangible  assets  (total assets less total liabilities and  goodwill)  or
market capitalization of $35,000,000 or $500,000 in net income for two of
the last three years, a $1,000,000 market value for the public float, two
market-makers,  and  a  minimum bid price  of  $1.00  per  share.   After
February 23, 1998, if the price of the Common Stock drops below $1.00 per
share  for 30 days, the Company will be notified of delisting proceedings
unless the stock closes at $1.00 or more for ten consecutive days, within
90  days  of  falling out of compliance.  In the future, if  the  Company
fails  to  meet these maintenance criteria it may result in the delisting
of  the  Company's securities from Nasdaq, and trading, if  any,  of  the
Company's securities would thereafter be conducted in the non-Nasdaq over-
the-counter  market.   If  the  Company's  securities  are  delisted,  an
investor  could  find  it  more difficult to dispose  of,  or  to  obtain
accurate  quotations as to the market value of, the Company's securities.
In  addition, if the Common Stock were to become delisted from trading on
Nasdaq  and  the trading price of the Common Stock were to  remain  below
$5.00 per share, trading in the Common Stock would also be subject to the
requirements  of certain rules promulgated under the Securities  Exchange
Act  of  1934, as amended, which require additional disclosure by broker-
dealers  in  connection with any trades involving a stock  defined  as  a
penny  stock (generally, any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market
price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.)  Such
rules  require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction,  of  a
disclosure  schedule  explaining the penny stock  market  and  the  risks
associated  therewith, and impose various sales practice requirements  on
broker-dealers  who sell penny stocks to persons other  than  established
customers  and accredited investors (generally institutions.)  For  these
types  of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability
determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's  written
<PAGE>
consent  to  the  transaction prior to the sale.  The additional  burdens
imposed  upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage  broker-
dealers  from  effecting transactions in the Common  Stock,  which  could
severely  limit the market liquidity of the Common Stock and the  ability
of  purchasers in this offering to sell the Common Stock in the secondary
market.

Potential Dilution of Shareholders' Ownership Interests

     As  of February 17, 1998, there were 53,842,360 common shares of the
Company issued and outstanding, plus 947,662 common shares not yet issued
for  a previous conversion of preferred stock.  Assuming the issuance  of
10,260,730 common shares in exchange for the total number of warrants and
vested  stock  options  outstanding as of that date  (without  regard  to
whether such shares are being registered hereunder), and the issuance  of
common  shares in conversion to Common Stock of all convertible preferred
stock  outstanding as of that date (all preferred stock convertible  into
approximately  15,488,596 common shares (based upon the conversion  price
as  of February 17, 1998), there would be approximately 80,539,348 common
shares  outstanding.  In such event, an existing shareholder before  such
issuances  would experience dilution of their ownership interest  in  the
Company  to  the  extent such shareholder held none of  the  warrants  or
preferred  stock being exercised or converted.  For example, an  existing
10%  shareholder  before such issuances would become a 6.69%  shareholder
after  such issuance, assuming such shareholder held none of the warrants
or  preferred  stock  being exercised or converted,  and  other  existing
shareholders  would  experience a similar  dilution  of  their  ownership
interest in the Company.

     Further assuming the exercise of all outstanding warrants and vested
stock  options and the issuance of common shares in conversion to  Common
Stock  of all convertible preferred stock outstanding as of February  17,
1998,  the  pro forma net tangible book value of the Company  would  also
increase by the amount of the proceeds paid to the Company for the Common
Stock  issued  in  exchange  for the warrants and  vested  stock  options
(approximately $9,980,770 or $0.124 per share increase.)  "Pro forma  net
tangible book value" represents the amount of total tangible assets, less
total  liabilities,  divided by the number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock
outstanding   after  considering  the  issuance  of  Common   Stock   for
outstanding  warrants and stock options and the conversion  of  Preferred
Stock into Common Stock.  The increase results from giving effect to  the
receipt  by  the  Company of the net proceeds from the  exercise  of  the
warrants and stock options.

     The  likelihood that the warrants and vested stock options  will  be
exercised  increases  as the market price of the stock  rises  above  the
exercise price of the warrants and stock options. Approximately 1,700,000
of  the warrants have a current exercise price above $2.00 and would  not
likely  be exercised at the current market price of the Company's  stock.
(See page 17 herein for further discussion of the Warrants.)

Preferred Stock's Preference Over Common Stock

     The  Company's Preferred Stock has preferences over the Common Stock
in  payment  of  dividends  and  in distributions  to  shareholders  upon
dissolution  of  the  Company.  (See the description of  Preferred  Stock
beginning  on  page  16 herein for a more detailed description  of  these
preferences.)  During ongoing operation of the Company, these preferences
mean  very little; payment of dividends to Preferred Shareholders has  no
<PAGE>
adverse  effect upon Common Shareholders because the Company has  not  in
the  past, and does not expect in the foreseeable future, to declare  any
dividends on its Common Stock.  However, in the event it became necessary
to  dissolve  the  Company, to the extent of any assets  remaining  after
payment  of  all  creditors of the Company, Preferred Shareholders  would
receive  the  face  amount and all accrued dividends on  their  Preferred
Stock before any distributions could be made to Common Shareholders.   In
the event of a dissolution of the Company at the February 17, 1998 levels
of   Common   and  Preferred  Stock,  because  of  the  Preferred   Stock
preferences, a Common Shareholder could receive a distribution  which  is
approximately  $0.05  per share less than it would otherwise  receive  if
there were no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.

                        USE OF PROCEEDS

     The  Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sales  of
the  Shares  by  Selling  Stockholders.  The likelihood  of  the  Company
receiving any proceeds from the exercise of the warrants increases as the
market price of the Company's stock increases above the exercise price of
the  warrants.  If the market price of the stock does not increase to the
required  levels, the Company will most likely not receive  any  proceeds
from  this  offering.  Assuming the exercise of the warrants to  purchase
100,000  Shares  at  $1.50  per share (expiring  in  mid-2000),  the  net
proceeds to the Company from the sale of Shares issuable upon exercise of
the warrants would be approximately $150,000.

     Any  proceeds received by the Company upon exercise of the  warrants
will  be  used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited
to,  operating  and working capital requirements.  Various  uses  of  the
proceeds  may include additional advertising, promotion, and  development
of uniView and the uniView Xpressway.

                      SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

     This  Prospectus relates to 1,000,000 Shares, and to  a  maximum  of
7,500,000  estimated  Shares issuable upon the  conversion  of  Preferred
Stock,  which  was issued pursuant to Securities Subscription  Agreements
(the  "Securities  Subscription  Agreements")  between  the  Company  and
certain  Selling Stockholders.  This Prospectus also relates  to  100,000
Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants, which were issued to  J.P.
Carey,  Inc.,  ("J.P. Carey"), pursuant to an agreement dated  August  8,
1997,  (the  "J.P.  Carey  Agreement"),  as  partial  consideration   for
$2,000,000 of capital raised by J.P. Carey for the Company.  See "Plan of
Distribution."

     The  "Number of Shares Underlying Warrants," and the "Maximum Number
of  Shares  Convertible from Preferred Stock" set out in the table  below
represent  the total number of Shares beneficially owned by  the  Selling
Stockholders  before the offering.  All of such Shares are being  offered
for  the  account of the Selling Stockholders and after the offering  the
Selling Stockholders will each own no Common Stock of the Company.

Securities Being Registered

     The following securities are covered by this Prospectus:
     
     1.    The  resale  of  1,000,000 Shares owned  by  certain  security
holders  who acquired Common Stock of the Company pursuant to a  Security
Subscription Agreement.
     
     2.    The  resale by J.P. Carey of up to 100,000 Shares that may  be
acquired upon the exercise of warrants issued pursuant to the J.P.  Carey
Agreement.

      3.    The resale by the respective holders thereof of a maximum  of
7,500,000  estimated Shares that may be acquired upon the  conversion  of
Preferred Stock issued pursuant to a Securities Subscription Agreement.

Plan of Distribution

     The  Shares being registered hereunder may be sold from time to time
by  any  of the Selling Stockholders, or by pledgees, donees, transferees
or  other  successors in interest, or by additional selling stockholders.
The  Shares  may  be  disposed  of from time  to  time  in  one  or  more
transactions through any one or more of the following:  (i) to purchasers
directly,  (ii)  in ordinary brokerage transactions and  transactions  in
which  the  broker  solicits purchasers, (iii)  through  underwriters  or
dealers  who  may  receive  compensation  in  the  form  of  underwriting
discounts,  concessions or commissions from the Selling  Stockholders  or
such successors in interest and/or from the purchasers of the Shares  for
whom they may act as agent, (iv) the pledge of the Shares as security for
any  loan or obligation, including pledges to brokers or dealers who may,
<PAGE>
from  time  to  time, themselves effect distributions of  the  Shares  or
interests  therein, (v) purchases by a broker or dealer as principal  and
resale  by  such  broker or dealer for its own account pursuant  to  this
Prospectus, (vi) a block trade in which the broker or dealer  so  engaged
will  attempt to sell the Shares as agent but may position and  resell  a
portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction and (vii)
an  exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such  exchange,
including the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, prices and at terms then prevailing
or  at  prices related to the then current market price or at  negotiated
prices and terms.  In effecting sales, brokers or dealers may arrange for
other  brokers  or dealers to participate.  The Selling  Stockholders  or
such  successors in interest, and any underwriters, brokers,  dealers  or
agents  that participate in the distribution of the Shares, may be deemed
to  be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities, Act, and  any
profit  on  the sale of the Shares by them and any discounts, commissions
or  concessions  received by any such underwriters, brokers,  dealers  or
agents  may  be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts  under
the Securities Act.

     The  Company  will pay all of the expenses incident to the  offering
and sale of the Shares to the public other than underwriting discounts or
commissions,  brokers' fees and the fees and expenses of any  counsel  to
the Selling Stockholders related thereto.

     In  the  event  of  a  material change in the plan  of  distribution
disclosed in this Prospectus, the Selling Stockholders will not  be  able
to  effect  transactions in the Shares pursuant to this Prospectus  until
such time as a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement  is
filed with, and declared effective by, the Commission.

                   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Common Stock

     The  Company  is  authorized by its articles  of  incorporation,  as
amended,  to  issue  up to 80,000,000 shares of Common  Stock,  $.01  par
value,  of  which  53,842,360 shares were issued and  outstanding  as  of
February  17,  1998,  plus 947,662 common shares not  yet  issued  for  a
previous  conversion  of preferred stock.  Holders of  Common  Stock  are
entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of  the
shareholders and do not have cumulative voting rights in the election  of
directors.   Accordingly, the holders of a majority  of  the  outstanding
Common  Stock can, if they so choose, elect all directors.  The  vote  of
the  holders  of  a majority of the shares entitled to vote,  present  in
person  or represented by proxy, shall decide any question brought before
a  meeting of the Company's shareholders at which a quorum is present.  A
quorum consists of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the
Common  Stock  entitled to vote.  The articles of  incorporation  of  the
Company   specify  that  a  majority  vote  of  shareholders   shall   be
determinative  regardless of provisions requiring more  than  a  majority
vote under the Texas Business Corporation Act.

     All  of the shares issuable upon exercise of warrants and conversion
of  preferred stock will be fully paid and nonassessable.  Holders of the
Common  Stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights, and shares
of   Common  Stock  have  no  redemption,  sinking  fund,  or  conversion
privileges.   Holders of Common Stock are entitled to  receive  dividends
<PAGE>
when, as and if declared by the board of directors of the Company, out of
funds  legally  available  therefor.  In  the  event  of  liquidation  or
dissolution of the Company, holders of Common Stock are entitled to share
ratably in all assets available for distribution to such shareholders.

Preferred Stock

     The  Company  is  authorized  to issue up  to  1,000,000  shares  of
Preferred  Stock,  $1.00  par value, in one or  more  series,  which,  if
issued,  would  have  certain preferences over  the  Common  Stock.   The
articles of incorporation of the Company vest the board of directors with
authority to establish and designate series of Preferred Stock and to fix
and  determine  the  relative rights and preferences  of  any  series  so
established.   As  of  February  17, 1998,  outstanding  Preferred  Stock
consisted  of  (a)  140,000 shares of Series A Preferred  Stock  with  an
annual dividend rate of 6%, a redemption value of $1.00 per share, and no
right  to  convert into Common Stock; (b) 3 shares of Series H  Preferred
Stock  with an annual dividend rate of 5%, a redemption value of  $25,000
per  share,  and  the right to convert such Preferred Stock  into  50,000
shares of Common Stock, at a minimum conversion price of $1.50 per share;
(c)  30  shares  of Series M Preferred Stock with a 3% dividend  rate,  a
redemption  value  of $33,250 per share, and the right  to  convert  such
Preferred  Stock,  as of February 17, 1998, into approximately  4,210,526
shares  of  Common Stock at a variable conversion price  based  upon  the
stock  price  of  the  Company's common stock for  a  period  immediately
preceding the date of conversion; and (d) 80 shares of Series N Preferred
Stock  with a 3% dividend rate, a redemption value of $33,250 per  share,
and  the right to convert such Preferred Stock, as of February 17,  1998,
into  approximately  11,228,070 shares of  Common  Stock  at  a  variable
conversion price based upon the stock price of the Company's common stock
for a period immediately preceding the date of conversion.  The number of
shares issuable upon conversion of Series M Preferred Stock and Series  N
Preferred  Stock fluctuates with the stock price of the Company's  common
stock,  as  reported  by  the Nasdaq Stock Market;  as  the  stock  price
increases, the number of shares issuable on conversion decreases; as  the
stock  price  decreases,  the  number of shares  issuable  on  conversion
increases.   Conversions  of  Series  M  Preferred  Stock  and  Series  N
Preferred  Stock are limited by the holdings of their owners; each  owner
may not hold more than 4.9% of the Company's outstanding common stock  at
any one time.
     
     Such  Preferred Stock has no voting rights.  It has preference  over
the  Common  Stock as to dividends, and no dividends can be  declared  or
paid  on  the  Common Stock unless full dividends on all Preferred  Stock
then outstanding for all past dividend periods and for the current period
had been declared and paid.  Dividends on all Preferred Stock, regardless
of  series, are cumulative.  No dividend may be declared on shares of any
series  of  Preferred Stock for any dividend period unless all  dividends
accumulated  for  all prior dividend periods have been  declared  on  all
Preferred  Stock then outstanding and a dividend for the same  period  is
declared  at the same time upon all Preferred Stock outstanding  in  like
proportions  to  the  dividend  rate then  declared.   In  the  event  of
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, whether  voluntary
or  involuntary,  the  holders of each series  of  the  then  outstanding
Preferred  Stock would be entitled to receive the amount fixed  for  such
purpose  in  the  resolution of the board of directors  establishing  the
respective  series of Preferred Stock plus a sum equal to the  amount  of
all  accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon.  After such payment to the
holders of Preferred Stock, the remaining assets and funds of the Company
<PAGE>
could be distributed pro rata among the holders of the Common Stock.  The
whole or any part of outstanding Series A, Series H, Series M, and Series
N  Preferred Stock may be called for redemption and redeemed at any  time
at  the option of the Company, exercisable by the board of directors upon
thirty  days' notice by mail to the holders of such shares as are  to  be
redeemed.

Warrants

     As  of February 17, 1998, the Company had outstanding warrants  held
by  various  investors  and vested stock options held  by  directors  and
various employees which were exercisable for a total of 10,260,730 shares
of  Common  Stock.   Directors and certain  employees  hold  a  total  of
1,600,000 additional stock options, which vest at various times over  the
next  two years.  Exercise prices of the warrants and stock options range
from  a  high  of  $4.50  per share, to a low  of  $0.11  per  share  and
expiration dates range from June, 1998 through April, 2002.

              DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
         INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

     Insofar  as  indemnification  for  liabilities  arising  under   the
Securities  Act  may be permitted to directors, officers and  controlling
persons  of  the  registrant  pursuant  to  the  Company's  Articles   of
Incorporation  or Bylaws, or otherwise, the registrant has  been  advised
<PAGE>
that  in  the opinion of the Commission such indemnification  is  against
public  policy  as  expressed in the Securities Act  and  is,  therefore,
unenforceable.   In  the  event that a claim for indemnification  against
such  liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant  of  expenses
incurred  or  paid by a director, officer or controlling  person  of  the
registrant  in the successful defense of any action, suit or  proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in  the
opinion  of  its  counsel  the  matter has been  settled  by  controlling
precedent,  submit  to a court of appropriate jurisdiction  the  question
whether  such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in  the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication  of
such issue.

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Article  2.02(16) and 2.02-1 of the Texas Business  Corporation  Act
empowers a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers or  former
directors or officers and to purchase insurance with respect to liability
arising out of their capacity or status as directors and officers.

     Article XIII of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended,
provides that a director of the Company shall not be personally liable to
the  Company  or  its shareholders for monetary damages for  any  act  or
omission  in  his capacity as a director, except to the extent  otherwise
expressly provided by a statute of the State of Texas.  Article IX of the
Company's  Bylaws provides for indemnification of officers and directors.
The  Company  has  entered  into Indemnity Agreements  with  all  of  its
officers,   directors,  and  designated  agents  indemnifying   them   in
connection with services performed for the Company to the fullest  extent
allowed by law.

     Insofar  as  indemnification  for  liabilities  arising  under   the
Securities  Act  may be permitted to directors, officers and  controlling
persons  of  the  registrant  pursuant to the  foregoing  provisions,  or
otherwise,  the  registrant has been advised that in the opinion  of  the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed  in
the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a
claim  for  indemnification  against such  liabilities  (other  than  the
payment  by  the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by  a  director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense
of  any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the  registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
been  settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of  appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it  is  against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed  by
the final adjudication of such issue.

Curtis Mathes Holding Corporation

Gentlemen:

     I  have  acted  as counsel to Curtis Mathes Holding  Corporation,  a

par  value  (the  "Common  Stock"),  as  described  in  the  Registration
Statement  on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission
on the date hereof (the "Registration Statement").

     I  have,  as  counsel,  as  I have deemed  necessary  examined  such
corporate  records, certificates and other documents  and  reviewed  such
questions  of law as I have deemed necessary, relevant or appropriate  to
enable  me  to  render the opinions expressed below.  In  rendering  such
opinions,  I  have  assumed the genuineness of  all  signatures  and  the
authenticity of all documents examined by me.  As to various questions of
fact material to such opinions, I have relied upon representations of the
Company.

     Based  upon such examination and representations, I advise you that,
in my opinion:

     A.    The  shares of Common Stock which are to be sold and delivered
by  the  Company  and certain selling stockholders of  the  Company  (the
"Selling  Stockholders")  as contemplated by  the  Plan  of  Distribution
specified  in  the  Registration Statement, have been  duly  and  validly
authorized by the Company and, in the case of the shares of Common  Stock
to  be sold by the Selling Stockholders, have been validly issued and are
fully paid and non-assessable.

     B.    The  shares of Common Stock which are to be sold and delivered
by  the Company pursuant to the exercise of the warrants, when issued and
delivered  in accordance with the terms of the warrants, will be  validly
issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

     I  consent  to  the  filing of this opinion as Exhibit  "5"  to  the
Registration Statement and to the reference to myself under  the  caption
"Legal Matters" in the prospectus contained therein.

                              Sincerely,

          waiver by it) of the following conditions precedent:

               for the Common Shares.

          (b)  Representations.    Each representation and warranty  made
               by  the  Investor  in this agreement  shall  be  true  and

               of the Closing Date.

          (c)  Legality.  No change shall have occurred in any law,  rule
               or  regulation that would prohibit the consummation of any
               transaction contemplated hereby.

          (d)  Litigation.     No  action,  proceeding  or  investigation
               shall  have  been commenced or threatened, nor  shall  any
               other  judgment or decree have been issued or be  proposed
               to  be  issued  by any court, agency or authority  to  set
               aside, restrain, enjoin or prevent the consummation of any
               transaction contemplated hereby.
          
     6.   Representations  and  Warranties.     The  Investor  makes  the
          representations, declarations and warranties set forth in  this
          Section  with  the intent that the same may be relied  upon  in
          determining  the Investor's suitability as a purchaser  of  the
          Common  Shares.  If the Investor includes or consists  of  more
          than  one  person  or entity, the obligations of  the  Investor
          shall  be  joint  and  several  and  the  representations   and
          warranties herein contained shall be deemed to be made  by  and
          be binding upon each such person or entity and their respective
          legal   representatives,   heirs,  executors,   administrators,
          successors and assigns.

          (a)  No  Regulatory Review.    The Investor is aware that  this
               is  a  limited private offering and that no federal, state
               or  other agency has made any finding or determination  as
               to   the   fairness  of  the  investment  nor   made   any
               recommendation or endorsement of the Common Shares.

          (b)  Ability  to Evaluate.     The Investor, by reason  of  the
               Investor's  knowledge  and  experience  in  financial  and
               business  matters, is capable of evaluating the risks  and
               merits of an investment in the Common Shares.

          (c)  Investment  Intent.   The Investor acknowledges  that  the
               purchase of the Common Shares hereunder is being made  for
               the  Investor's own account, or investment  purposes  only
               and  not  with  the present intention of  distributing  or
               reselling  the  Common Shares in whole or  in  part.   The
               Investor  further understands that the Common  Shares  are
               not being sold to the Investor in a transaction registered
               under  the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
               or  any  other  state securities laws.  As a  result,  the
               Investor  understands that there will be  restrictions  on
               the  transfer and sale of the Common Shares.  The Investor
               further understands that the Company has agreed to file  a
               Registration  Statement with the SEC with respect  to  the
<PAGE>
               Common  Shares  no later than ___________.   The  Investor
               hereby agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer the Common
               Shares  until  the Investor has received notice  from  the
               Company  that the Registration Statement has been declared
               effective.    Investor  hereby  agrees  to  exercise   the
               registration rights granted hereby, and to sell the Common
               Shares  pursuant  to the registration, only  in  a  manner
               consistent with the representations and warranties made by
               Investor  to  the Company hereunder.  Investor understands
               that  the  SEC  may in its discretion comment  on  certain
               aspects  of the Registration Statement and the transaction
               and that such comments may cause delay in the Registration
               Statement becoming effective.  The Company shall  have  no
               liability  to  Investor  on  account  of  any  such  delay
               initiated by the SEC.

          (d)  Investment  Information.  The investor  has  received  and
               reviewed  pertinent  information  regarding  the  Company,
               including the most recent SEC Forms 10-K and 10-Q prior to
               the  execution  of  this  Agreement  and  is  capable   of
               understanding  and  evaluating the  information  contained
               therein.  Specifically, the Investor is fully aware of the
               risks relating to the business of the Company and purchase
               of  the Common Shares.  The Investor will rely solely upon
               its  independent investigation and analysis in making  the
               decision  to  purchase the Common Shares.  In  particular,
               and  without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
               Investor has not relied on, and the Investor's decision to
               subscribe  for  Common Shares has not been influenced  by:
               (i) newspaper, magazine or other media articles or reports
               related  to  the Company or its business; (ii) promotional
               literature  or  other materials used by  the  Company  for
               sales or marketing purposes, or (iii) any other written or
               oral  statement  of the Company or persons  purporting  to
               represent   the  Company.   The  Investor  has   had   the
               opportunity  to  discuss all aspects of  this  transaction
               with  management of the Company, has made or has  had  the
               opportunity  to  make such inspection  of  the  books  and
               records  of  the  Company  as  the  Investor  has   deemed
               necessary  in  connection with this  investment,  and  any
               questions asked have been answered to the satisfaction  of
               the Investor.

          (e)  Confidentiality.     The  Investor  understands  that  the
               Offering   is   confidential.   The   Investor   has   not
               distributed  information on the Offering to  anyone  other
               than such legal or financial advisors as the Investor  has
               deemed  necessary for purposes of evaluating an investment
               in the Common Shares.

          (f)  Authorization  and  Formation  of  Investor.           The
               Investor,  if a corporation, partnership, trust  or  other
               form  of business entity, is authorized and otherwise duly
               qualified to purchase and hold the Common Shares and  such
               entity  has  not been formed for the specific purposes  of
               acquiring Common Shares in the Offering.  If the  Investor
<PAGE>
               is  one  of the aforementioned entities, it hereby  agrees
               that  upon  request  of the Company  it  will  supply  the
               Company  with any additional written information that  may
               be requested by the Company.

          (g)  Accredited   Investor  Status.    The   Investor   is   an
               "accredited  investor" as such term  is  defined  in  Rule
               501(a)  of  Regulation  D under the  Act  and  within  the
               meaning of similar regulations under state securities laws
               for    the    reasons   indicated   in    the    "Investor
               Acknowledgments"  accompanying  this  Agreement.   If  the
               Investor  is  an individual, he or she is of majority  age
               and  his  or  her  marital status is as indicated  in  the
               "Investor Acknowledgments."  If the Investor is an entity,
               the person executing this Securities Purchase Agreement on
               behalf of the Investor is of majority age.

     7.   Reliance   on   Representations  and  Warranties:    Indemnity.
          The  Investor  understands that the Company will  rely  on  the
          representations  and  warranties  of  the  Investor  herein  in
          determining whether a sale of the Common Shares to the Investor
          is  in  compliance with federal and applicable state securities
          laws.  The Investor hereby agrees to indemnify the Company  and
          its  affiliates,  and hold the Company and its  affiliates  and
          agents harmless from and against any and all liability, damage,
          cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred
          on  account  of or arising out of:  (a) any inaccuracy  in  the
          Investor's  declarations, representations  and  warranties  set

          contrary  to  the Investor's declarations, representations  and
          warranties  in this Subscription Agreement; (c) any lawsuit  or
          proceeding   based   upon  a  claim  that  said   declarations,
          representations or warranties were inaccurate or misleading  or
          otherwise  cause  for  obtaining damages or  redress  from  the
          Company or any of its affiliates or the disposition of  all  or
          any   part  of  the  Investor's  Common  Shares;  and  (d)  the
          Investor's  failure  to fulfill any or all  of  the  Investor's
          obligations herein.

     8.   Updating  Information.     All  of the  information  set  forth
          herein   with  respect  to  the  Investor,  including,  without
