Cable operator Jadoo Digital is to launch high definition (HD) television services in Bangladesh in the first week of April.



Following the launch, Annisul Huq-owned Jadoo Digital will also offer Internet and voice services in the south Asian country.

The cable company has already begun test transmissions in the Nikaton area in Dhaka, according to Ishraq Dhaly, head of marketing at Digi Jadoo Broadband, owner of Jadoo Digital.

“We will change the customers’ experience of entertainment. They will be able to enjoy triple-play services by using one cable,” Dhaly added.

The operator currently provides about 20 television channels, including Star TV Network, BBC, Ten Sports, Neo Sports, ABP and Times. But from April, Jadoo Digital will have the ability to deliver 250-plus channels with higher visual and audio quality.

Following a tie-up with TiVo’s Cubiware, consumers will also be offered personal video recording, video-on-demand (VOD), electronic programme guide, high speed Internet and IP telephony, along with 24/7 call centre support, the company said.
