The
MSO has acquired cable networks in pockets
of Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh. It
has set up three digital headends - in Bangalore,
Indore and Nellore.
"We
have a
Rs 4.5 billion investment plan over the
next 18-24 months. This will be towards
digitalisation, IPTV and acquisition of
cable networks," said ACT TV managing
director Sunder Raju.
With
the launch of IPTV, ACT claims to be the
first player to have introduced the Interactive
TV service in the city. Said Raju, “ACT
Interactive TV will turn a television set
into a convergence device. A viewer can
watch his favourite TV channels, get movies
of their choice at the click of a button
from a huge library, watch millions of videos
available on the internet, record one program
while watching another, pause & play
live TV, and connect various devices in
the house to view images stored on them.
Soon they will be able to play multi-user
games, send emails and voicemails from their
TV sets, conduct online shopping, education
and banking using a compact remote.”
