Belgian broadband provider tests iDTV service with Linux IP-STB i3 announced that it will supply its Mood IP-STB (pictured) to Siemens for deployment in an iDTV test network Siemens is building for top Belgian broadband provider Belgacom. iDTV, or improved definition television, uses line doubling, ghost cancelling, and other techniques to improve the quality of analog NTSC television signals. Belgacom.s iDTV will offer customers video-on-demand, local information, e-shopping, and the possibility to surf and e-mail via the television, according to i3. i3 describes its Mood 300 as a multimedia TV gateway with dual-stream MPEG processing, loadable codecs, and built-in hardware-accelerated decryption for both video streams. The Belgacom iDTV project will begin testing in November at one thousand homes near Ghent, Brussels, and Liege. -- Benjamin Henrion <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://bh.udev.org <<< Push the Parliament democracy against Commission-Council Terrorism >>> <<< Promoting Abuses of the Patent System is Juridical Terrorism >>> <<< http://swpat.ffii.org >>> _______________________________________________ asbl-libre mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ael.be/mailman/listinfo/asbl-libre ASBL Association Electronique Libre http://www.ael.be/
