Telsey S.p.A. has won the call for tender set up by Tiscali Group managed by Tiscali Services and is today official supplier for Hybrid IP Set Top Boxes FS600 - one of the first STB integrating in one device IPTV connection and a double tuner for DDT and Personal Video Recorder - allowing the operator the most flexible service implementation.
Quinto di Treviso (TV), Italia - June 2007 - Telsey, leader in designing and producing access devices and solutions and broadband multimedia communication services, has been selected by Tiscali Services, the technological engine of the Tiscali Group, as the only supplier of Hybrid IP Set Top Boxes FS600.
During the next 15 months, Telsey will supply Tiscali with two versions of STB in order to fulfil the need of connections both in UK and in Italy. Both versions will allow users whether to access the Tiscali IPTV service, recently launched in UK and soon to be launched in Italy, and to access the DDT via an analogical antenna. Part of the deal will involve a STB with an additional interesting feature, and will have 2 tuners DDT and a PVR option, allowing users to record contents to be viewed later than the broadcasting timetable
