Start-up company Play Cast Maldives has
begun rolling out a cable TV network to provide HD and ultra HD services across
the island nation after a broadcasting licence was awarded this month.
Test broadcasts are expected to commence in
January 2015 with coverage across Male' scheduled by the end of 2015.
"This place needs some competition.
This shouldn't be done by one party. Prices will be different. Therefore, we
are looking to go full throttle," Mohamed Fayaz, managing director,
PlayCast, told local reporters.
The full HD and ultra HD service would
start with about 60 channels, but would be expanded to 150 channels, added
Fayaz – a founder of cable TV company J-Sat Cable Vision, which merged with
MESCO's CableNET to become MediaNet, the leading pay-TV operator in the Maldives.
Subscribers may need DVB-C set-top boxes,
OTT set-top boxes or hybrid OTT + DVB-C set-top boxes to watch Play Cast
Maldives’ cable and wireless TV service. SDMC’s new hybrid OTT + DVB-C set-top
boxes DV6810-C
would be a great choice for Play Cast Maldives due to its price, quality and
supports for CAS, DRM and middleware.
