SINGAPORE : High Definition TV (HDTV) is the latest to hit the local broadcasting scene and Singaporeans have given it the thumbs-up.
According to a survey by StarHub, 96 percent of those interviewed were satisfied with the picture quality, and 4 in 5 viewers were satisfied with the trial as a whole
These figures were revealed by Information, Communications and the Arts Minister Dr Lee Boon Yang at the launch of StarHub's HDTV service on Thursday.
The launch places Singapore as the first country in Southeast Asia to offer a commercial HDTV service.
SingTel and MediaCorp plan to have a commercial HDTV launch later this year.
Dr Lee added viewers can look forward to more Made-by-Singapore HD content this year.
"The Media Development Authority has been actively encouraging and supporting local content producers to create quality HD content for domestic and international markets. About 100 hours of Made-by-Singapore HD content was completed last year and this will be doubled by this year or 2007," said Dr Lee. - CNA /ls
