Moldtelecom launches IP-based digital TV

S.A. Moldtelecom made available a new service – digital television through IP that uses the optical fiber and ADSL lines. This means that several services can be provided simultaneously through one point - Internet, telephony and television, Info-Prim Neo reports, quoting a communique from the telecoms carrier. "We made significant investments so as to provide the most advanced digital TV technology, as alternative to cable television,” said the director of S.A. Moldtelecom Vitalie Iurcu. The slogan of the new service provided under Moldtelecom's brand is “Look at the World Differently”. The service ensures a higher quality of the image and sound for a competitive monthly subscription, the company says in the communique. By April 1, 2010, the connection and subscription will be free of charge. The service has national coverage and the clients will receive the most popular TV channels. It can be used as part of a package of combined services - Internet and television – and the clients will pay one bill. In the near future, the subscribers will be able to better personalize what they want to watch on the TV set by selecting and recoridng the favorite programs, ordering certain programs, viewing reruns, adding new packages and TV channels and choosing the broadcast and subtitling language. Another advantage of the new service is that the channels prohobited for children can be blocked. For further details, visit www.moldtelecom.md, contact the Moldtelecom centers or dial 1181.
