Saudi TV selects Harris for HD studio upgrade
France 2 isn't the only network gearing up to undergo an HD upgrade to its studios, as Saudi TV has just awarded Harris a contract to freshen up its Dammam facility. Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Culture & Information has tapped Harris for a fourth time in order to construct a facility packing a pair of HD studio control rooms for news and production. Furthermore, the project "marks the first Middle East application of the Harris Intrinsic Mirroring SAN-based fault tolerance technology, the latest advance in NEXIO server storage protection." Sadly, there's no timeframe given for when residents of the area can look forward to seeing a difference from the upgrade, but rest assured, it's on the way.

Wow... i am quite surprised to see this.
First of all, the Saudi TV is not what people would watch regularly over here, its the national TV, i guess you got the point!
Still, this is a big jump, they are one of the first to implement or prepare for this, the others are pay-TV channels which are not rolled out yet anyway.
Good job :)
