Philip Wong | Jul 13, 2006

StarHub Cable TV today announced the introduction of three new HBO channels tailored for movie buffs of all genres and ages. Bundled together with its existing HBO channel, the HBO Signature, Family and Hits channels will be available under The HBO Pak package for its digital cable customers. Monthly subscription for the four channels will be priced at S$16 (US$10.53) for both existing and new HBO subscribers.
Fans of Cinemax programs can also look forward to a lighter month-end statement with the revised S$8 (US$5.26) subscription rate. Down from the current S$12 (US$7.89) charge, the new rate is effective from July 30 and will be reflected in the August billing of existing customers.

Sony gets picture-savvy with new Bravia engine

Philip Wong | Jul 11, 2006

Following the successful debut of its Best Resolution Audio Visual Integrated Architecture LCD TVs, Sony is announcing the introduction of its next-generation Bravias starting with a new "S" series lineup. Sporting a sleek and clean-cut design, the series comes in four different display sizes ranging from 26 to 46 inches.

To enhance picture quality, the Japanese company has outfitted the series with a newly developed Bravia engine featuring picture-optimizing and noise-reduction processings. The former, combined with its S-PVA LCD panel, enables the TV to deliver an improved 1,300:1 contrast ratio performance over its predecessors.

Performance aside, the HD-ready "S" series also comes loaded with an all-digital HDMI interface for no-fuse, one-cable digital audio-visual connectivity with HD settop boxes, Blu-ray and HD-DVD players. Expect the new Bravias to hit retail shelves in the following weeks.
