MTS rolls out MTS HDTV in Winnipeg
3/31/2009 at 12:02 PM
Per the media release below, MTS has officially launched what they call "the most advanced television experience in Canada."
This includes usage of Microsoft Mediaroom technology that had been mentioned in past discussions on here.
Brandon at this point of course does not even have the standard MTS TV service, but it's been speculated that they might be close to offering it. If or when they'd be offering the HDTV service in this area is anybody's guess.
At the end, they mention that it is "currently available to limited areas in Winnipeg, with more areas and features becoming available throughout 2009"
