HBO in HD has been made available on Kbro Co and Taiwan Broadband Communications. The channel is expected to be available on more cable operators in countries across the region soon.
HBO claims to be the first regional movie channel to broadcast in high definition in Asia and was
first launched in Singapore on 1 October. The service was then made available in Hong Kong and the Philippines.
In June, Discovery also entered the booming HD market in Taiwan through launching
a 24-hour channel through Taiwan Fixed Network, the cable operator under TWN Broadband.
