At its news conference, Quantel showed that it would fight for a place in future newsrooms by announcing that Newsbox HD, its nonlinear HD news system ‘in a box‘, will now feature HD for “free”, meaning that Newsbox HD systems will be available for the same price as the SD version of Newsbox.

In a further move pointing up its reinvigorated “match any price” attitude, Quantel will also now move from the previous fixed Newsbox configurations, allowing customers to choose the number of seats, ports, and various other options.
