Mike Reynolds Multichannel News 12/27/2009 8:17:00 AM http://www.multichannel.com/article/441694-Bell_TV_Rolls_HD_To_Marriott_Hotels_In_Canada.php Bell is bringing high-definition viewing to guests at Marriott Hotels in Canada. The telecommunications company has installed its HD solution in six Marriott hotel locations in Canada and it will soon offer it in two additional hotels, bringing HD via Bell TV to more than 2000 rooms. These Marriott properties have access to more than 100 HD channels from Bell TV, the most offered by any television provider in Canada. Deal terms were not disclosed. Bell's solution delivers in-room satellite-powered HD television from a centralized control room, doing away with the need for individual receivers in each room. The result is both an improved guest experience and simplified hotel operations, providing video-on-demand compatibility, more attractive room aesthetics and eliminating the risk of theft of in-room HD receivers. "Bell is proud to offer hotels a unique solution that solves the challenges they face in delivering HD television directly to their guests across Canada," said Kevin Crull, president of Bell Residential Services, in a statement. "With Bell TV, hotel guests get access to Canada's best HD television service, featuring the most HD channels and stunning picture quality, making their stay even more enjoyable." -- ================================ George Antunes, Political Science Dept University of Houston; Houston, TX 77204 Voice: 713-743-3923 Fax: 713-743-3927 Mail: antunes at uh dot edu *********************************** * POST TO [email protected] * *********************************** Medianews mailing list [email protected] http://lists.etskywarn.net/mailman/listinfo/medianews
