[Satellite Today 09-17-08] BT Vision signed a deal with NBC Universal International Television Distribution for a broad selection of feature films to appear on BT Vision’s new Hi-Def on-demand movie service in the United Kingdom, the operator announced Sept. 17.
    This is the first HD content deal for BT,  which reported more than 280,000 customers for its TV service at the end of June.
    “The inclusion of HD films now makes BT Vision an even more compelling service, immediately delivering the benefits of high definition content but without the high cost of additional monthly subscription fees or an expensive new set-top box,” Dan Marks, president of BT Vision, said in a statement.
