Portugal Telecom / ZON expands their HD offerings in Portugal

by Darren Murph posted May 30th 2008 at 1:40PM


Good news, Portugal. Two of the nation's most prominent DTH providers have just upped their respective antes, so we'll dig right into the former. PT's Meo service already features National Geographic HD, and as of just a few days ago, Eurosport HD. Now, however, the carrier will be offering up TVI to its IPTV / satellite customers in order to broadcast Euro 2008 to its customers. Oddly enough, we're told the addition of TVI (in HD / SD) will be only for Euro 2008, though it should become a regular part of the lineup in 2009. Moving on to ZON, it's planning to launch Mov HD and National Geographic HD on June 1st, and just to make sure Euro 2008 is shown in HD, it'll add Sport TV HD here shortly. In September, you can look forward to seeing Cine 1/2/3/4 in HD, and it's expected that these four could end up on PT's Meo service as well.

[Thanks, Orlando]

Portugal's ZON intros ZON BOX HD DVR

by Darren Murph posted May 14th 2008 at 3:11AM


ZON TVCabo, a leading programming provider in Portugal, has introduced an all new HD DVR for its users: the imaginatively titled ZON BOX. The unit boasts a 160GB hard drive, USB 2.0 port, gigabit Ethernet and HDMI / component / S-Video / composite jacks for good measure. We're also informed that the box will come in handy here soon, with National Geographic HD (which recently launched on rival Portugal Telecom), MOV HD and possibly SportTV HD going live. The latter two channels would be dedicated to movies / TV series and sporting events such as Euro 2008, respectively. Unfortunately, we weren't able to solicit pricing information, but feel free to give the carrier a call and see what this gem will run you.

National Geographic HD heads to Portugal Telecom's IPTV service

by Darren Murph posted Mar 2nd 2008 at 3:37PM


Swisscom isn't the only foreign IPTV provider bolstering its lineup -- oh no, Portugal Telecom is joining in on the fun by adding nine new channels to its Meo TV service. Unfortunately, only one (National Geographic HD) is in high-definition, but at least it's a start, right? For more details on the newcomers and the new packages alike -- most of which will be available for free this month -- check out the read link below.
