Teleport
service extended with instant access to whole TV series
Teleport,
Telewest Broadband's TV-on-demand service, is today enhanced with the launch of
Teleport TV, a new section offering complete TV series at the touch of a
button.
The cable company's Teleport service was launched to digital TV
customers in Cheltenham and Gloucester earlier this month, offering a huge
selection of current programmes and films via the existing set-top box and
remote control. The service enables viewers to watch what they want, when they
want and is being launched on a region-by-region basis.
Teleport TV
initially offers over 60 hours of top series, kids programmes and documentaries
including Walking with Cavemen and What Not to Wear. This soon will grow to
over 300 hours as additional content is added from channels including National
Geographic, Discovery, LIVINGtv, Bravo and more from the BBC.
The
Teleport service offers a selection of free, subscription and pay-per-view
content in different areas. Customers taking the company's top (Supreme)
digital TV pack will enjoy unlimited access toTeleport TV as part of their
standard service, with other customers paying an optional £5 per month.
Eric Tveter, president and chief operating officer of Telewest
Broadband, said: "Teleport TV is perfect for viewers wanting to watch an entire
TV series at their own pace and when it suits them. Or for anyone wanting to
indulge in a feast of their favourite programme over an evening or
weekend.
"We've made on-demand access to TV series part of our top
digital TV pack, which should prompt consumers to question the value and
technical limitations of our competitors
