Effective today, Videotron has announced<\/a> more High Definition programming, bringing its total to 20 HD channels, many of them available with no monthly charge.<\/p>\n

We have written before<\/a> about the power of HD as a means to confound telco IP-TV plans. For the near future, homes with multiple HD TV sets will find IP-TV to be incapable of providing sufficient capacity to feed HD broadcast programming to more than one receiver. The more channels that are available in HD, the more likely a home will be to demand more than one HD feed.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Videotron and other cable companies are locking-in subscribers with sales of set-top boxes and personal video recorders that serve as disincentives for subscribers to switch to IP-TV. Each time an analog cable subscriber converts to digital represents an even more expensive acquisition for telco IP-TV service. A subscriber that has just paid $300-$600 for a cable set-top box is going to be less likely to switch service providers.<\/p>\n

When will we see more than MTS with telco HDTV service? We’ll have a look at MTS financials later today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
