INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Plan Administrator
United Video Satellite Group, Inc. 401(k) Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of United Video Satellite Group, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the "Plan")
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of changes
in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31,
1996 and the three months ended December 31, 1995. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Plan as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1996 and
the three months ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of
assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1996 and 1995
and the schedules of reportable transactions for the year ended
December 31, 1996 and the three months ended December 31, 1995, are
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required
part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations
for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected
to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

401(k) PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1996 and 1995
(1) Description of Plan
Effective September 29, 1995, United Video Satellite Group, Inc.
(the "Company") adopted the United Video Satellite Group, Inc.
401(k) Plan (the "Plan"). The beginning balances of the Plan were
transferred from a previously existing plan, the United Video
Management, Inc. and Affiliates Employees 401(k) Profit Sharing
Plan (the "Predecessor Plan"). The Predecessor Plan included
account balances of participants who were not employees of the
Company and who do not currently participate in the Plan. Account
balances for employees of the Company under the Predecessor Plan
were transferred into the Plan effective September 29, 1995.
The following description of the Plan provides only general
information. Participants should refer to the 401(k) Plan
document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all
employees of the Company who have completed one year of service
and are age twenty-one or older. The Plan is subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA).
Contributions
Each year participants may elect to save, through payroll
deductions, from 1% to 12% of pretax compensation, as defined by
the Plan. Eligible employees may make a rollover contribution to
the Plan of all or any portion of eligible rollover distributions
as defined by the Plan. The Company may make a matching
contribution of an amount equal to a designated percentage rate of
each participant's contribution of pretax compensation. The
Company's matching percentage shall be determined by the Company
and announced prior to the beginning of the Plan year. For the
periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company matched 100%
of the first 4% of each participant's contribution of pretax
compensation. For any plan year, additional matching
contributions can be made at the option of the Company.
Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
contributions, the Company's matching contributions, and an
allocation of the Plan's earnings. Forfeited balances of
terminated participants' nonvested accounts are used to reduce
future Company matching contributions. The benefit to which a
participant is entitled is the vested balance in the participant's
account. At year end, these unallocated forfeitures are reflected
in the accompanying financial statements as a reduction of net
assets available for benefits.

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus
actual earnings thereon. Vesting for the Company matching
contributions is at a rate of 20% per year beginning after the
employee's first full year of service with an additional 20% for
the next four years achieving 100% vesting at five years of
credited service. Participants become fully vested in the Company
matching contributions upon retirement or in the event of death or
disability.
Investment Options
Effective April 1, 1996, the Plan assets were transferred to a
third party trustee/custodian. As a result of the transfer, the
investment options also changed. The following investment options
were available prior to April 1, 1996:
Vanguard Money Market Reserves - U.S. Treasury Portfolio -
invests in securities backed by the U.S. Government.
Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund - GNMA Portfolio -
invests at least 80% of its assets in Government National
Mortgage Association pass-through certificates. These
certificates are mortgage-backed securities representing part
ownership of a pool of mortgage loans.
Vanguard Index Trust - 500 Portfolio - invests in an attempt to
duplicate the investment results of the S&P 500 Index by
holding all 500 stocks in approximately the same proportions as
they are represented in the S&P 500 Index.
Fidelity Contrafund - invests mainly in equity securities of
companies that are undervalued or "out-of-favor" but show
potential for capital appreciation.
The following investment options were available effective April 1,
1996:
Merrill Lynch Retirement Reserves Fund - invests in short-term
money market securities such as U.S. Government and agency
securities, bank certificates of deposit and banker's
acceptances, commercial paper and repurchase agreements to seek
current income, preservation of capital and liquidity.
Merrill Lynch Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund - invests at
least 65% of its assets in high quality corporate debt. This
portfolio invests primarily in securities rated "A" or better.
Merrill Lynch Equity Index Trust - invests in an attempt to
duplicate the investment results of the S&P 500 Index by
holding all 500 stocks in approximately the same proportions as
they are represented in the S&P Index.
Merrill Lynch Capital Fund - invests primarily in equity
securities of high quality large-cap companies, corporate bonds
and money market securities in an effort to diversify its
investments.

401(k) PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
Merrill Lynch Technology Fund - invests in equities of
technology companies domiciled in developed markets including
computer production, communications, consumer electronics,
electronic components, factory and office automation and in
other companies substantially involved in the more general
field of technology. The fund will not invest more than 25% of
its total assets in any one industry. Subsequent to December
31, 1996, the assets in this fund were transferred to the
Seligman Communication and Information Fund.
Aim Value Fund - invests primarily in equity securities of
companies that are believed to be undervalued relative to
current or projected earnings of the companies issuing the
securities, or relative to the current market value of the
assets owned by the company. The fund may invest up to 25% of
its assets in foreign securities.
Aim Equity Constellation Fund - invests largely in common
stocks, emphasizing small to medium-sized emerging growth
companies that have experienced above-average and consistent
earnings growth or companies that are currently experiencing a
dramatic increase in profits.
Templeton Foreign Fund - invests in stocks and debt securities
of companies and governments outside the United States. It
maintains a flexible investment policy allowing it to invest in
all types of securities and in any foreign country, developed
or under-developed.
United Video Stock Fund - invests primarily in shares of the
Company. A participant may not invest more than 20% of the
value of his or her accounts in the United Video Stock Fund.
Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employer and
employee contributions in 1% increments to the available
investment options. Participants may change their investment
options and transfer balances between existing investments on a
daily basis.
Payment of Benefits
Upon separation of service due to termination, death, disability
or retirement, participants can elect to leave their account
balance within the Plan until minimum distribution payments are
required by law or elect to receive either a lump sum distribution
of their account or, if their account balance is greater than
$3,500, equal periodic payments over a designated period in
accordance with current tax regulations.
Included in net assets available for benefits as of December 31,
1996 and 1995 is $535,476 and $329,167, respectively, which
represent amounts allocated to accounts of individuals who have
elected to withdraw from the Plan but have not yet been paid.
These amounts are reported as liabilities on the Internal Revenue
Service Form 5500.
Participant Loans
Under certain circumstances, participants may borrow from their
accounts up to a maximum of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account
balance. Loan terms are not to exceed five years (10 years for
the purchase of a principal residence). The loans are secured by
the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at the
prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the last
business day of the month prior to the date the loan is funded
plus 1%. Principal and interest are repaid by the participant in
accordance with the Plan document.

Administrative Expenses
The Company may elect to pay all administrative expenses of the
Plan. Administrative expenses not paid by the Company are paid
from Plan assets. All administrative expenses were paid by the
Company in 1996 and 1995.
(2) Summary of Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been
prepared on an accrual basis of accounting.
Investment Valuation
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value, based on quoted
market prices. The participant loans are valued at cost which
approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are
recorded on a trade date basis.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
(3) Investments
The following table presents the fair values of individual
investments at December 31, 1996 and 1995.

(4) Internal Revenue Service Status
During 1996, the Internal Revenue Service ruled that the Plan
qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC)
and, therefore, the related trust is not subject to tax under
present income tax law. Once qualified, the Plan is required to
operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification.
Plan trustees and the administrative committee are not aware of
any course of action or series of events that have occurred that
might adversely affect the Plan's qualified status.
(5) Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has
the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any
time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.
In the event of Plan termination, participants will become fully
vested in their accounts.
