ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

Lawrence F. DeGeorge hereby amends and supplements his Statement on Schedule 13D
(the  "Statement") with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), of United International  Holdings,
Inc., a Delaware  corporation (the "Issuer").  The Issuer's principal  executive
offices are located at 4643 South Ulster Street, Suite 1300, Denver, CO 80207.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Item 5(a) of the  Statement  is hereby  amended and  supplemented  by adding the
following:

Mr. DeGeorge  beneficially owns (assuming conversion of Class B Common Stock for
Class A Common Stock)  405,402  shares of Class A Common Stock,  which  includes
options for 11,250 shares  currently  exercisable,  and  represents  1.3% of the
outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. As a result of the voting provisions
of the  Stockholders'  Agreement (as defined in Item 6 below),  the Founders (as
defined in Item 6 below and includes Mr.  DeGeorge)  and Apollo Cable  Partners,
L.P.  ("Apollo")  may be deemed to be a "group"  for  purposes of Rule 13d-3 and
each  member of such  "group"  may be deemed to  beneficially  own shares of the
Issuer's  common stock held by the other  members of such  "group".  To the best
knowledge  of Mr.  DeGeorge,  the  Founders  and Apollo  beneficially  own as of
December 31, 1998, a total of 10,400,097  shares of Class A Common Stock,  which
includes the conversion of 9,608,136  shares of Class B Common Stock for Class A
Common  Stock and  572,583  shares  that  would be  acquired  upon  exercise  of
currently exercisable options, and represents 25.4% of the outstanding shares of
Class A Common Stock. The foregoing percentage interests are based on 30,699,381
shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of January 8, 1999 (as reported by
the  Issuer in its  Quarterly  Report  on Form 10-Q  filed  January  14,  1999),
adjusted,  in the  case  of Mr.  DeGeorge,  for  Mr.  DeGeorge's  options  as if
exercised  and for the  conversion  of his Class B Common  Stock,  resulting  in
31,044,783  outstanding  shares of Class A Common  Stock and, in the case of the
"group",  for the Founders'  options as if exercised  and for the  conversion of
their Class B Common Stock,  resulting in 40,880,100 outstanding shares of Class
A Common Stock.

Each share of Class A Common  Stock is  entitled  to one vote per share and each
share of Class B Common  Stock is  entitled  to ten votes per share.  Holders of
Class A Common  Stock and  Class B Common  Stock  vote as a single  class on the
election of directors.  When all classes of common stock  beneficially  owned by
Mr.  DeGeorge are aggregated  without giving effect to the conversion of Class B
Common Stock and assuming the exercise of options, Mr. DeGeorge may be deemed to
beneficially own voting equity securities representing approximately 2.6% of the
voting power with respect to a general  election of directors of the Issuer.  In
addition,  when all classes of common stock  beneficially  owned by the Founders
and Apollo are  aggregated  without  giving effect to the  conversion of Class B
Common Stock and  assuming the exercise of options,  the Founders and Apollo may
be  deemed  to   beneficially   own  voting   equity   securities   representing
approximately  74.3% of the voting power with  respect to a general  election of
directors of the Issuer.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, Mr. DeGeorge hereby disclaims  beneficial  ownership for
purposes  of  Section  13(d) or 13(g) of the Act of the shares of Class A Common
Stock  and  Class B Common  Stock  held by any  other  Founder,  Apollo or their
transferees.

Item 5(b) of the  Statement  is hereby  amended and  supplemented  by adding the
following:

Pursuant to the  Stockholders'  Agreement,  Mr.  DeGeorge may be deemed to share
beneficial  ownership of Class A Common  Stock and Class B Common Stock  because
the  Founders  and  Apollo  have  agreed  to vote in favor  of their  respective
nominees  for  directors  of the  Issuer.  See Item 6 below.  As a  result,  Mr.
DeGeorge  may be deemed to have  shared  voting and  dispositive  power over the
shares of common stock  beneficially  owned by the  Founders and Apollo.  Of the
aggregate  shares owned by the Founders and Apollo,  Mr.  DeGeorge  beneficially
owns 405,402  shares of Class A Common Stock  (assuming  the exercise of options
for 11,250 shares and the conversion of 334,152 shares of Class B Common Stock).

Item 5(c) of the  Statement  is hereby  amended and  supplemented  by adding the
following:

On July 16, 1998,  certain  Founders,  William J. Elsner,  Joseph E.  Giovanini,
Clarice J. Giovanini,  Giovanini  Investments,  Ltd., and Giovanini  Properties,
ceased  to  be  subject  to  the   Stockholders   Agreement  upon  the  sale  of
substantially  all of their shares of Class A Common Stock (includes  conversion
of Class B Common  Stock  for  Class A Common  Stock)  of the  Issuer  through a
secondary  offering.  As a result of such sale,  the number of shares of Class A
Common  Stock that may be deemed to by  beneficially  owned by the  Founders and
Apollo  was  reduced  by  2,799,979  shares  of Class A Common  Stock  (includes
conversion  of Class B Common  Stock for Class A Common  Stock and  assumes  the
exercise of options held by such Founders).

Item 5(d) of the  Statement  is hereby  amended and  supplemented  by adding the
following:

There is no person  that has the  right to  receive  or the power to direct  the
receipt of dividends  from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Class A Common
Stock  beneficially  owned by Mr.  DeGeorge.  To the knowledge of Mr.  DeGeorge,
there is no person  that has the  right to  receive  or the power to direct  the
receipt of dividends  from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Class A Common
Stock beneficially owned by any of the other Founders or Apollo.

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

Item 6 of the  Statement  is hereby  amended  and  supplemented  by  adding  the
following:

In May 1997, Mr.  DeGeorge  became a party of the  Stockholders'  Agreement as a
Founder.  Pursuant to the terms to the Stockholders' Agreement,  dated April 13,
1993 (the "Stockholders'  Agreement"), by and among the Founders, Apollo and the
Issuer,  Apollo and the Founders  have agreed to vote in favor of three  persons
nominated to be  directors by Apollo and nine persons  nominated to be directors
by the  Founders in the  elections  of  directors  of the Issuer.  The number of
persons  Apollo and the  Founders  are  entitled  to  nominate  for  election as
directors  is  subject to  reduction  for each  group if the  percentage  of the
Issuer's  voting  securities  beneficially  owned by it is reduced below certain
levels.  These  director  nomination  rights  expire on April 12,  2003,  unless
earlier  terminated  by the  agreement  of Apollo  and the  Founders.  The other
Founders subject to the Stockholders'  Agreement are Albert M. Carollo,  Carollo
Company,  Albert & Carolyn  Company,  James R.  Carollo  Living  Trust,  John B.
Carollo Living Trust,  DLF Partners,  Kathleen Jaure,  Curtis  Rochelle,  Curtis
Rochelle Trust, Jim Rochelle,  Marian Rochelle,  Gene W. Schneider, G. Schneider
Holdings,  Mark  Schneider,  the Revocable  Trust of Janet  Schneider,  Susan G.
Schneider and Robert A. Schneider. A copy of the Stockholders'  Agreement can be
found at Exhibit 10.16 to the Issuer's Registration  Statement on Form S-1 (File
No. 33-61376) filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 1993.

The Issuer's Board of Directors is currently  composed of ten members,  eight of
whom may be deemed to have been  nominated  by the Founders and two of which may
be deemed to have been nominated by Apollo.

The information  set forth in Items 4 and 5 is hereby  incorporated by reference
herein.  There are no other  agreements among Mr. DeGeorge and any other Founder
or Apollo with respect to the Issuer's securities.
