Press Release - Habu.TV offers US TV programming to Expats in Thailand by Ross P. Johnson

US TV via IPTV in Thailand that provides quality reliable Near HD/HD programming with over 250 channels of live American programming streaming with 2Mbps guaranteed bandwidth to each Customer's set-top box is here with Habu.TV.

Talking with Mr. Clay Cook, the CEO/Chairman of Vision One Global Communications, a full-service communications provider to the the large contingent of US Military and Expats living in Japan, says the road has not been so smooth. "We have been through no less than 3 different providers and potential providers of the IPTV services we were searching for to find the absolute finest quality, reliability, and user-friendly solution that meets all the legal requirements in the US for our Constituents here.", says Clay. "One might think that it would be easy to find such a solution...but marrying 2 or 3 parties to ensure that the Customer receives the absolute best service for the best price...and meets all the other criteria mentioned...has been a long and bumpy road."

"We are recieving great response from the markets here in Asia and on the military bases...the word is out that now we have it...and are live. With over 250 channels of quality US TV programming streamed directly to anywhere in the world utilizing SlingBox technology with an actual set-top box solution to your TV and or computer, you can now watch all of your favorite TV shows, dramas, pro-sports, college sports, movies, news, entertainment. Our channel line-up includes: Every HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, Netflix, ESPN, FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, BET, MTV, digital music radio with every genre, Sci-FI, Discovery, Disney, History, Nat Geo, and so much more!"

We asked Mr. Cook what separates your www.Habu.TV service from the rest of the pack of base cable services being offered? "Well, simply put, we have quality live streaming of 250 premium cable channels - the entire solution, not only the SlingBox streaming to your computer, but we offer the SlingCatcher set-top box decoder using SlingMedia's advanced IPTV network with their proprietary compression that allows for higher quality streaming with lower bandwidth requirements on the Client's viewing end and 100 hour DVR built-in so you can "time-shift" your programming to your time-zone.
Legalities are always a major concern; and with our legal team in New York, we believe that we have met all guidelines and criteria based on current laws on the books covering IPTV. The real difference here is that every Customer is simultaneously signed up for an actual cable subscription of their own in the US; so in effect, you are complying with the laws by just "time-shifting" your own subscription and watching it elswhere. In Asia where the Expat will view the service, the local laws aren't infringed upon because we are not broadcasting in that country."

Bandwidth is the main stumbling block that prevents IPTV service in some areas in Asia. In Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Korea the bandwidth is "pretty good", says Clay. "However, in places like Thailand and Philippines you will need to ensure you have at least 512 kbps reliable connection to be able to view our service".

"With Habu.TV the Customer can go to our site and click to view free demo. We will send them back the instructions with 2 hours of viewing so they can see for themselves whether or not their connection will support it."
