Written by Tokunbo Tuesday, 30 March 2010

MultiChoice, Nigeria's pre-mium pay-TV operator, has announced the launch of two high definition (HD) channels on its DStv bouquet.

The channels, Discovery HD Showcase and iConcert HD, join entertainment channel M-Net HD, making the number of DStv’s HD channels available in Nigeria three.

However, the channels are available to subscribers who have an HD ready television and those who access their DStv services through the technologically advanced HD PVR (Personal Video Recorder).

Mr Joseph Hundah, Managing Director, MultiChoice Nigeria said: "Unlike normal TV sets which have 576 lines, HD TV has 720. This translates to about twice the number of pixels on a normal TV.

“The result of this is in terrific picture quality with added benefits of 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound and wide screen for more viewing pleasure."

He added that the HD PVR decoder, “which is loaded with unique features that offer vivid colours and precision picture quality as well as multi-functional capabilities, is an improvement on the existing standard definition (SD) PVR”.
