TV/COM And Grundig to Supply Low-Cost Receivers for BDB Launch of
Digital TV
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 18, 1998--TV/COM International, Inc., a leading provider of global digital
communications solutions for the direct-to-home, cable, and terrestrial markets, announced that it is providing the design for
the Grundig-manufactured set-top boxes (STBs) and integrated digital TVs that receive digital terrestrial broadcasts, including
at least 15 channels from British Digital Broadcasting (BDB).
In a deal that promises low-cost access to digital TV, BDB has placed a major order for set-top boxes (STBs) with the
Grundig-TV/COM alliance.
When launched later this year, digital terrestrial TV will improve reception and give clearer pictures, with wide-screen
programmes and interactive electronic programme guides. Viewers will be able to receive at least 30 channels: BBC1&2,
ITV, Channels 4&5 and Sky -- along with new free channels from the BBC and ITV and subscription channels from BDB.
