Using Amino's low-cost, highly integrated set-top boxes, subscribers can watch digital-quality television and access a wider selection of movies than previously available, all with full interactivity.
Roy Kirsopp commented: "We are looking to consolidate Amino's presence in North America as the supplier of the IPTV industry's most cost-effective integrated set-top boxes.
