Singapore's StarHub launched its Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), known as 'StarHub TV on Fibre' service to homes this week, starting from the 9th April, offering a suite of over 200 channels that are currently offered on StarHub TV1. The high-definition (HD) IPTV service will be delivered over Singapore’s Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network, promising a superior viewing experience with high-definition content, personalised features and greater interactivity.
At launch, StarHub TV on Fibre customers can also enjoy a smarter recording service— Simultaneous Recording—via an approved external hard disk drive. This enables customers to record up to two programmes simultaneously. More features such as Social TV, Multi-room Recording, Picture-in-Picture and Personalisation will be rolled out progressively on StarHub TV on Fibre, said the operator. In Social TV, viewers can conveniently recommend and post comments about programmes on their personal Facebook and Twitter accounts, and even ‘like’ a programme on Facebook, using only their TV remote controls and without leaving their TV screens.
