BBC HD making Scandinavia debut on Canal Digital this December

by Darren Murph posted Oct 5th 2008 at 8:05PM

BBC HD is taking one more step on its road to world domination by making its debut in continental Europe later this year. The channel is set to launch on Nordic pay-TV platform Canal Digital this December in Scandinavia, and it'll be landing alongside the SD stations BBC Knowledge, BBC Lifestyle and BBC Entertainment. There's no word yet on whether there will be an additional fee for access to the channel, but believe us when we say it'll be worth it even if so.

Dreampark's IPTV middleware bringing HD to hotel guests in Scandinavia and Russia

by Darren Murph posted Feb 24th 2008 at 4:10PM


We're all about getting more HD to hotels -- after all, how else would an HD junkie stay sane on the road? -- and it looks like more could be headed to certain locales in Scandinavia and Russia. More specifically, Hoist Hospitality Group plans on distributing the system to some 15,000 rooms in the aforementioned areas, and the system itself will be provided by Dreampark. The firm's Dreamgallery IPTV middleware solution will reportedly be used to deliver an unspecified amount of high-definition content to an undisclosed amount of hotels, but here's to hoping that we find out more soon.

NonStop launches VOOM HD in Estonia

Apparently even the HD companies believe it's truly better to give than to receive, as we've seen Poland, Spain, and the ole US of A receive new HD content in recent weeks. Next in line is, well, a little more of Europe, but it'll be "the first HD content" delivered to needy consumers in the Baltic region. NonStop Television has reportedly struck a deal with Estonian telecoms and IT provider Elion to make VOOM HD available on the firm's IPTV platform just a month after it launched in Scandinavia on Canal Digital. The company stated that Elion would be "the first HDTV provider in Estonia," but hopefully not the last. So for you folks stuck up in the northern sects of Europe, take heart, as a taste of HD is coming to cable and IPTV in your neck of the woods this February.
