File this one under... unique. As we've noted
before, Israeli satellite provider YES is rolling out its HDTV offerings. Of course, there's got to be a advertising campaign to go along with the effort. The ad they're running with is hilarious -- picture 100 Hasidic Jews dancing through city streets. Now picture the hijinks are choreographed and set to the Village People's "YMCA." Of course, it's in
Yiddish Hebrew, so we can't make out what they are singing. But we were able to pick out a phrase in English that we certainly identify with: "HD, oh yes!" Click through the link and enjoy.
EDIT: Got the language straight. Thanks, Avi!
Israel's leading DTH satellite provider (YES) has decided to give subscribers yearning for HD one more reason to choose it over the competition by inking a deal that will bring MGM HD to its lineup. Originally launched over in Poland, the channel is already available in Israel in SD, but it'll be making its HD debut soon enough as it begins simulcasting with the more pixelated version. Interestingly, there's no word of any other Israeli provider picking the HD flavor up, but Bruce Tuchman, MGM Networks' executive VP has stated that the company plans to "continue to aggressively expand its HD presence internationally."
That's what this Israeli firm says. They claim that they can create LED's for screens that are flexible,
consume less power, and have better light dispersion. This way they could work their way into everything from your
T-shirt to your HDTV.
