New set-top box for BT Vision customers
|
BT has awarded a contract to Pace Group to supply second generation hybrid personal video recorders for use with BT Vision.
The contract follows BT’s previous contract with the set-top box division of Royal Philips Electronics, which was recently acquired by Pace. Pace says its latest set-top high-definition-capable V-Box will provide access for up to 40 Freeview TV channels and 30 radio channels. The device also gives BT Vision users the ability to record an average of 80 hours of content, on-demand access to a huge library of films, TV shows, music videos and sport, and a range of interactive applications. BT Vision chief executive Dan Marks said: “We are very pleased to announce this contract, working with the team that launched the first generation V-Box. “Our medium-term goal is to secure two to three million subscribers for our BT Vision service and we are looking forward to making this vision a reality in co-operation with Pace.” Pace chief executive Neil Gaydon said: “The hybrid model of providing the latest interactive services, alongside digital terrestrial programming, is a very compelling one. We are excited to be working with BT to bring this advanced product to market.”
