EXPLANATORY NOTE

On March 25, 2008, China Digital TV Holding Co., Ltd. (the “Registrant”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-149888) (the “2008 Registration Statement”) registering an aggregate number of 6,790,379 shares, par value $0.0005 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of the Registrant, which were reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated China Digital TV Holding Co., Ltd. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) and the China Digital TV Holding Co., Ltd. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”).

The Registrant has adopted a new stock incentive plan, the China Digital TV Holding Co., Ltd. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), effective November 19, 2010, and has, contemporaneously with the filing of this Post Effective Amendment No. 1, filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the Commission registering 3,600,000 Ordinary Shares of the Registrant, to be issued pursuant to the 2010 Plan. As a result, no further awards will be issued under the 2005 Plan or the 2008 Plan. Therefore, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the 2008 Registration Statement to deregister 1,979,866 Ordinary Shares with respect to which (i) no stock options had been granted under the 2005 Plan or the 2008 Plan, or (ii) stock options had been forfeited or cancelled as of November 19, 2010. All Ordinary Shares with respect to which stock options had been granted and remained outstanding as of November 19, 2010 remain registered under the 2008 Registration Statement. The Registrant will continue to file post-effective amendments to the 2008 Registration Statement, as necessary, to reflect updated information relating to that portion of the Ordinary Shares that remains registered pursuant to the 2008 Registration Statement.
