View at The Register
BT has named Philips as its hardware partner for its move to broadband TV services.
Although no deal has been signed BT wants Philips to make the set-top box which will include an 80-hour disc-based video recorder. The world's favourite telco has already signed up Microsoft's IPTV for the user interface.
Services will include video-on-demand, 'catch-up TV', 30 channels in association with Freeview, instant messaging, video calls and games. Catch-up TV will be an archive of the previous seven days broadcast content.
