NDS, the leading provider of technology solutions for digital pay-TV, announced that Canal Overseas , the international arm of CANAL+ Group, is introducing a personal video recorder (PVR) service with a Flash™-based Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) developed by NDS. This is the first PVR service for CANAL OVERSEAS markets across the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean.

French-speaking Sub-Saharan Africa and the South Pacific will benefit from this service in the near future.

Canal Overseas has deployed a new version of NDS MediaHighway® set-top box (STB) software to power its satellite pay-TV service. The new version of MediaHighway automatically downloads new software to each STB, enabling the STBs to detect the addition of an external hard drive and format the drive for use as a PVR.

CANAL OVERSEAS subscribers who wish to upgrade to a PVR service can now rent a Western Digital 500 GB hard disk to connect it to their dual-tuner Pace STB via its USB port.

The new version of NDS MediaHighway also provides the foundation for CANAL OVERSEAS to offer catch-up TV services in the future.

The Flash based EPG design and production is the result of collaboration between CANAL OVERSEAS, CANAL+ CYFROWY’s design teams, NDS design studios in Paris and NDS’ R&D facility in India.
