All Orbitel Cable TV customers with at least expanded service can obtain free internet access to more than 1000 hours of exclusive live and on-demand video content from the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver February 12-28.
Orbitel has entered into an agreement to provide its customers the ability to watch via the internet this on-line coverage from NBC, announced Keith Kirkman, President and CEO of Orbitel. This is in addition to watching the games coverage on the eight cable TV networks offered by Orbitel in both standard definition and hi-definition.
Every Orbitel customer with the Expanded Cable TV package will be able to access from any computer at any location in the U.S. more than 1000 hours of live and on-demand video content, including full event replays, said Kirkman. A link on the OrbitelCom.com home page will allow eligible customers to log on using their Orbitel account number, zip code and last four digits of their phone number.
“This is a fabulous benefit to our cable TV subscribers,” Kirkman said. “Following the Vancouver Games online from any computer anywhere in the United States and its territories will be a fantastic added value experience.”
Customers who log on will have access to a special NBC Olympics website which features live event coverage with simultaneous video streams, and on-demand coverage, including full event replays, highlights, features, interviews, results, statistics, and bios. An HD-experience powered by Silverlight gives viewers the choice of a high quality full screen viewing experience unlike any on the internet today.
