It has been around one year since Public Television Service has launched the trail-run of HiHD terrestrial broadcasting in Channel 30 mainly on the programs of drama, documentary, music & infotainment, sports, and art, in the twin-mega cities Taipei, and Kaohsiung. More and more cites in the west coast of the Island-nation will also map into the HiHD-ready broadcasting range along with the subsequent implementation phases of the emergent broadcast stations. To address the growing needs of the HiHD HDTV platforms in the island, SiS has been very focusing on launching a forged HiHD-Ready solution, SiS217H, with various intensive field tests, and customization to make a contribution in the new arena of the Taiwan HiHD era.
