The first commercial direct to home satellite broadcasting of a linear 1080p television channel will commence in Africa later this year, as the result of the agreement by Sahara Media of Tanzania to broadcast the Landscape Channel in full HD, commencing this autumn. This is a first for technology and for Africa. LandscapeHD will be available throughout Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Malawi, Mozambique and Burundi with a satellite footprint covering East and Central Africa. LandscapeHD is a languagelesss instrumental music channel showing the beauty of the natural world in the highest technical quality available to satellite broadcasters. LandscapeHD is a free to air music channel funded by national government tourism advertising, as well as global and local brand advertising, in a new languageless format only seen on the Landscape Channel. It takes global languagless tourism and destination advertising, previously used on the internet, and delivers it into traditional television broadcast homes using its new proprietary mini-server IP distribution system. This is connected to normal in-home television services (such as cable, satellite and now the fast developing connected tv market). This unique distribution system is expected to deliver a raft of new specialist music channels into traditional television distribution over the coming twelve months, as distributors discover how this new technology can deliver specialist music channels anywhere in the world, without the traditional costs associated with broadcast servers and rights societies determined to squeeze the life out of minority music channels by the charges they levy for specialist music at the same rate as pop music. Contact: Nick Austin Chairman +44 1424 830628 Editors note: LandscapeHD delivers its television signal globally from one source into any television distribution system anywhere in the world using a broadcast television server that costs less than the cost of an iphone and is about the same size. This technology delivers a 24 hour music television channel into any country anywhere in the world and into any format (adroid, smartphone, tablet, operating system or television system) without any cost to the user. Nick Austin was the co-founder of the Beggars Banquet music label (now often referred to as the fifth major) and is committed to the concept of delivering specialist msuic channels into television as the new store for music. -- If you do not want to receive any more newsletters, http://www.landscapehd.com/lists/?p=unsubscribe&uid=b2af32f916764866e3e3e21c5d7b75b8 To update your preferences and to unsubscribe visit http://www.landscapehd.com/lists/?p=preferences&uid=b2af32f916764866e3e3e21c5d7b75b8 Forward a Message to Someone http://www.landscapehd.com/lists/?p=forward&uid=b2af32f916764866e3e3e21c5d7b75b8&mid=124 -- Powered by PHPlist, www.phplist.com --
