Deutsche Telekom, Motorola to collaborate on IPTV

Deutsche Telekom will use Motorola's HD-ready IPTV set-top boxes to deliver IPTV in Germany as part of its T-Home Entertain services, Motorola said last week.

The collaboration will enable T-Home customers to access a variety of multimedia applications in addition to standard TV offerings using an optimized Motorola set-top, which is already equipped for future services.

Within the scope of the contract, Motorola will provide T-Home with its VIP1616E set top, which is known to T-Home customers as Media Receiver 300 Typ A. With the device, subscribers to T-Home's Entertain service will be able to view premium sporting content in full HD.
