Kabelanbieter Telewest UK mit HD Angebot seit heute

Anzeige

Telewest today became the first provider in the UK to launch a HDTV service to consumers.

The high quality offering is being delivered in conjunction with the operator's new PVR box, TV Drive.

Around 400 "selected" customers are now sampling both services in advance of their nationwide launch early in 2006.

Early HD content comprises free shows from BBC Worldwide including Pride, The Blue Planet and Wild Weather, as well as movies from FilmFlex. All shows are accessible on demand through new VOD service Teleport; broadcast HD channels are expected to follow mid 2006.

TV Drive, which allows 80 hours of storage, will cost £10 per month for customers taking the top tier package or £15 otherwise.

"Our new PVR is streets ahead; with generous storage, the flexibility of being able to record up to two channels while watching a third, and breath-taking HDTV," said Telewest president Eric Tveter. "With both TVDrive and Teleport, our customers will have complete control, freedom and choice with their TV viewing. Combined with HDTV, it's the ultimate TV experience and leaves the current Sky+ box on the starting line."

Pre-registration for the service is now open at telewest.co.uk/tvdrive.
