Bringing HDTV To Africa — MultiChoice has launched their High-Definition Personal Video Recorder (HD PVR). The company has brought a number of world firsts into the country, including digital satellite television, interactive television services, Dual View and PVR, to name just a few. Customers will need an HD PVR decoder and an HD-ready TV set to view HD content. The Beijing Olympic Games will be the first to broadcast in HD format at the beginning of August. The HD PVR will be made available for this special event, with pre launch software which does not include all the features such as a full suite of interactive applications. These will be available when the MNet HD channel launches at the end of August. The software will be delivered to purchased decoders, via the satellite transmission without any intervention needed from the customer. After this, customers will be able to view movies, series, and wildlife in HD format.
