NTL Telewest signs deal with ITV - grabs all World Cup games in HD
If you want to watch all those World Cup games in high def you are going to need more than just a Sky dish. Unless we hear an announcement from Sky very soon, and I wouldn’t write that off, the only place to watch all the games in the new format is via NTL/Telewest.
This follows the cable company, now billing itself as NTL/Telewest’s news that it has reached a deal with ITV. All the World Cup games wil be shown live in HD along with other HD content including the epic new wildlife series ‘Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ocean Adventures’, classic films including ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ and ‘The Big Sleep’, and a range of drama including a number of Agatha Christie’s Poirot specials ‘Death on the Nile’ and ‘Murder in Mesopotamia’.
The service will apparently launch on Telewest NTL just before the big kick off on May 10th.
It’ll be interesting see how Sky responds. ITV is also about to start trialling HD over Freeview in the London area.
