HD IPTV solution for vessels and cruise ships gets showcased


If there's one glaring negative about hopping on a cruise ship off the coast of Europe and letting go for weeks at the time, it's the gaping hole in your soul created from losing HD programming for that same amount of time. Now, however, RICO is showing off BNS' HD IPTV solution designed specifically for vessels and cruise ships at the Asia Pacific Maritime trade show. Purportedly, the solution will support broadcast HD channels, video-on-demand services, personal messaging and interactive services, and while no cruise lines were specifically mentioned, the firm is unquestionably aiming to "deploy BNS' MDU IPTV solution to the hospitality market in the maritime segment." Pssh, who needs ocean views when you've got this?

Aquavision Waterproof TVs

Aquavision is taking TVs to place they had a very hard time going before: by water. It used to require a custom installation to have a TV by any type of water due to stream, condensation and the occasional splash. Aquavision has developed a LCD TV that plays nicely with all these things though. For instance, they feature heated screen areas to prevent condensation and fogging on the screen. The TVs also come with a floating, waterproof remote. The sets are available in 5 different finishes and turn into a mirror when turned off. (READ: lots of glare when turned on) They come in a variety of sizes that range all the way up to a 40-inch. These guys seemed to have think of everything though as there is even an option of a towel rack TV. O.K. now we have seen every possible place to put a TV.

The company is based out of the U.K. so contact them to find your local dealer; if you have one.
