City residents can now heave a sigh of relief, as they will soon get rid of paying huge bills to cable operators.

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) in association with Smart Digivision Pvt Ltd launched an Interactive Personalised Television and Video Services (IPTV) for BSNL customers here today.

BSNL is currently providing the facility in 11 cities -- Pune being the first followed by Bangalore, Jaipur, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Jodhpur, Kota, Kanpur, Varanasi, Gurgaon, Faridabad and Ambala. "We have planned to extend this facility to 98 cities by end of 2009," Aggarwal informed.

BSNL chairman and managing director Kuldeep Goyal inaugurated the service. "IPTV reception is much better than the cable," he claimed. The service is available in 11 cities across the country.

What is IPTV?

The transmission of content through internet protocol television describes a system wherein digital content services are delivered to subscribing customers using internet protocol over a broadband connection using closed network infrastructure. Separate virtual circuits for voice, data and video applications are created in the same telephone connection to deliver the Triple Play services.

"Selected BSNL residential customers in NCR are experiencing the next generation of TV Entertainment Services. By using high-speed BSNL internet connection and Smart Digivision Set Top Box, customers are able to connect to a set of interactive lines that cost Rs 180 which is much lesser than the cable charges," said Goyal.

He added that viewers could choose from more than 140 channels. "It will also offer viewers an extensive film library with Hollywood and Bollywood titles at no extra cost," he clarified.

"While DTH and cable are limited to broadcast services, Smart Digivision will take entertainment to the  next level with an array of exciting features like video on demand, which will provide a catalogue of current and all time favourite films; programmes and special features," Goyal explained. Facilities like music on demand, education on demand and games on demand will be available to consumers."

He informed, "Music on demand will let customers build their own radio stations and playlist from the latest hits and most popular artists. Education on demand turns television into a learning tool with a selection of age and subject-based instructional programmes. Games on demand features interactive games programmes."

"Parental control will be the most important thing as it will enable parents to block specific content, channels and ratings through pin-based system," Goyal affirmed.

R.K. Aggarwal, director, Planning and New Services, told The Tribune, "SDPL is working on some more services like -- pause live TV, digital instant and scheduled recording, personalised stock ticker, interactive viewing, email and chat, travel information and weather forecasts -- which will be available to customers soon."

Goyal said, "We have a plan for broadband expansion and in coming three years we plan to add three million broadband connections."
