Viasat Puts Hdtv Back On Agenda

摘要

Modern Times Group (MTG) has reconsidered the potential of high-definition television to drive subscriber growth across the Nordic region in the face of falling demand for digital television. Last autumn, the Swedish media group downplayed the significance of HDTV for its Viasat satellite pay-television division, saying that it had still to be convinced by either the consumer proposition or the business logic (NMM October 27, 2006). It chose to focus on other new products including a personal video recorder (PVR) and Viasat Everywhere, a branded version of Sling Media's Slingbox device.
