Taking advantage of EchoStar’s IP-Prime Conversion Program, Canby Telcom will receive transport of as many as 42 popular high definition TV channels to its IP headend. Commercial transport provider IP-Prime announced previously it is discontinuing its video transport service to telco facilities by July 31, 2009. EchoStar’s IP-Prime Conversion Program provides qualified customers with EchoStar’s ViP-TV transport service, replacement IDC satellite receivers and a standard professional installation, including compatible LNBs, a satellite dish re-point, cabling and connectors. Canby Telcom provides information, communication and entertainment services and this 104-year-old cooperative has approximately 10,000 telephone access lines and offers more than 200 TV channels, an interactive program guide, video on demand, pay-per-view and caller ID on TV. EchoStar’s ViP-TV transport service is capable of delivering a secure, MPEG-4 encoded IP stream of approximately 250 channels of popular, broadcast-quality TV channels from a satellite located at 85 degrees West. ViP-TV can also provide satellite-delivered local TV channel aggregation in a telco’s designated market area in HD and SD (where available). Telco and small cable operators can also take advantage of ViP-TV’s complete set of design and integration services to build a fully provisioned IPTV system.
