Imagenio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Imagenio is the commercial name of the IPTV television over ADSL service of Spain's Telefonica telecommunications company. The service was started as a commercial pilot test in the city of Alicante on 2002 and later extended to some major cities like Madrid and Barcelona on April 2004[1].
As of March 2006 the coverage doesn't include all of Spain. Major cities and province capitals are covered, but not rural areas or minor cities. It is possible to check on-line if the service is available for your phone line on the Imagenio Home Page .
The channel line-up includues some international English language channels, such as CNN International and BBC World. Additionaly for certain channels, Imagenio allows the viewer to switch instantly from the dubbed Spanish versions of foreign-made programs to the original language version. This facility is available for many digital channels such as TCM, Calle 13, Fox and Disney but not for national terrestrial/digital channels such as TVE, Antena3 or Telecinco.
[edit] Technology Licensing
On April 2006 it was announced that Lucent Technologies will license the Imagenio platform. Lucent will assume the future development of the software and will also market the platform worldwide[2].
On October 2006 Lucent launched MiViewTV, the software suite for delivering multimedia IPTV services based on the existing "Imagenio" developments[3].
