The race for mar­ket dom­i­nance in the lo­cal ca­ble tele­vi­sion sec­tor has in­ten­si­fied with the launch of Flow's ad­vanced video ser­vice.The up­grad­ed dig­i­tal me­dia plat­form, which the ser­vice provider de­scribes as TV you can con­trol, of­fers sub­scribers a high de­f­i­n­i­tion (HD) vi­su­al ex­pe­ri­ence.The new fea­ture op­er­ates through the com­pa­ny's broad­band ser­vice and al­lows cus­tomers to watch the start of a movie al­ready in progress, pause and rewind it.

Flow un­veiled the new suite of ser­vices at a cock­tail re­cep­tion at the Cen­tu­ry Ball­room at the Queen's Park Oval in Port-of-Spain and out­lined how it ben­e­fits all cat­e­go­ry of sub­scribers who will re­ceive ad­di­tion­al HD chan­nels.

Bri­an Collins, man­ag­ing di­rec­tor of Flow and Colum­bus Com­mu­ni­ca­tions for the South­ern Caribbean said: "This means you can utilise your new smart TV the way it was meant to. Over the past year, our team has been work­ing dili­gent­ly to en­sure that this prod­uct is of the best qual­i­ty and will serve to im­prove how sat­is­fied you are with our ser­vice.

"The evo­lu­tion of tele­vi­sion has been ex­cit­ing to watch and the re­sult there are now op­tions for every­one de­pend­ing on your bud­get and how much you love to watch tele­vi­sion. We be­lieve our chan­nel line-up is ex­cit­ing, en­ter­tain­ing, ed­u­ca­tion­al and thought­ful. "Our longevi­ty in the busi­ness and the qual­i­ty we pro­vide ac­counts for our con­tin­ued suc­cess."

Collins added: "In ad­di­tion to the launch of ad­vanced video, we are cur­rent­ly up­grad­ing our broad­band in­fra­struc­ture through­out Trinidad which will re­sult in an im­proved cus­tomer ex­pe­ri­ence for every­one."We have al­ready com­plet­ed work in West Trinidad and we are cur­rent­ly work­ing in Tacarigua, to sup­port east Trinidad.

"Last De­cem­ber, we start­ed serv­ing cus­tomers in Point Fortin and en­vi­rons, and we'll in­vite you down there in the com­ing months to see our new plant and tell you more about our plans for deep-south Trinidad."
