O2 Launches TV Shows in 3D

O2 in the Czech Republic also operates a landline network which offers TV services in addition to its mobile services. Now the company has launched a promotion and is broadcasting 3D films and documentaries over the network. The company has already sent the special glasses necessary to watch the programs in 3D to all of its customers by post.

Telefonica O2 Czech Republic introduced the O2 TV fixed-line television service to the Czech market in September 2006 and says that it has met with unprecedented success among customers.

"Over 25,000 customers are already enjoying digital O2 TV through their fixed lines. In addition to the largest catalog of international and Czech films that we offer which can be viewed on demand in the Videotheque section, we are now enrichening our offer with 3D films. As the only digital TV service which offers 3D films in the Czech Republic, O2 now provides customers the ability to enjoy, in the comfort of their own homes, special effects previously only available in movie theatres," stated Andrei Torriani, Chief Marketing Officer, Telefonica O2 Czech Republic.

From the beginning of this month, O2 TV subscribers will be able to watch an introductory selection of documentary films focusing on nature as well as travel. This selection includes several 30 to 60-minute films specially filmed in a 3D format (for example, Safari Indonesia, Vanuatu, Egypt, Malaysia, Namibia, and Oman)."
