There is a Brazilian cable operator that will transmit the World cup in 1080i]]>Jun 4th 2006 5:25PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/02/hdtv-world-cup-madness-sweeps-the-world-but-not-south-america/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/02/hdtv-world-cup-madness-sweeps-the-world-but-not-south-america/
Fer is right, he actually stopped by our blog and posted the link to TVA of Brazil. Even though the government there hasn't decided on an HDTV standard, TVA is a cable operator, so they can transmit however they like to their set top boxes.

The World Cup transmission by TVA is actually going to be the first HDTV broadcast in South America.

But the rest of "futbol-crazy South America" is out of luck. And I just got a 45-inch 1080p Sharp Aquos hoping that at least some cable or satellite operator in Chile would surprise us just in time for the World Cup. :(]]>Jun 4th 2006 7:07PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/02/hdtv-world-cup-madness-sweeps-the-world-but-not-south-america/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/02/hdtv-world-cup-madness-sweeps-the-world-but-not-south-america/Jun 5th 2006 7:46AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/02/hdtv-world-cup-madness-sweeps-the-world-but-not-south-america/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/06/02/hdtv-world-cup-madness-sweeps-the-world-but-not-south-america/Jun 5th 2006 11:09AM
