Telefnica turns on the HD heat with Imagenio IPTV service

by Darren Murph posted Dec 5th 2008 at 1:16AM

Telefónica's on top of its game -- just a few months back, it was testing a no-glasses-necessary 3D IPTV, and now, it's bringing high-def to its Imagenio IPTV service. Everyone who is currently subscribed to a Trío Futura 10 or 30Mbps connection are receiving an HD-capable set-top-box along with the new HD service, though just a single high-def station is currently available (Sony Pictures' AXN). The good news (or, even more good news, actually) is that Canal+ in HD should be arriving soon, and we can only hope that more will be delivered in the not-too-distant future.

Telefnica and Philips testing no-glasses-necessary 3D IPTV, got ?18,000 we can borrow?

São Paulo, Brazil stand up, you're first in line for auto-stereoscopic (read: no glasses) 3D IPTV broadcasts courtesy of Telefónica/TVA and, we assume, that swank WOWvx-powered 1080p 52-inch Philips 3D HDTV promised to hit shelves by year end. Fortunately it now has a price, unfortunately, that price is €18,000 and requires you live in the Jardins neighborhood, hooked up to its fiber network in order to have the capacity to suck down all that 3D. Consumer accessibility is pegged at "inside three or four years", so you start saving, the SMPTE will figure out how to make it all work, and we'll sit back and remember how awesome Captain EO was that one time at Epcot Center. Everyone has to do their part.
