The first receivers for the Norwegian market are now available, with
two models from Grundig and one from Sagem. One of the Grundig models
includes MHP and other MHP enabled receivers will become available in
the coming months. The first MHP receivers on the Norwegian market include MHP 1.1.2.
NRKs digital text TV service contains same categories
as classical teletext, but with extended depth in the articles. In addition it includes a quarter screen with video of any of the channels in the NRK bouquet. It also offers access to any radio channel from the NRK
bouquet and an extended weather service, including a weather
chart and weather forecast. The service is reported to be very fast with all content displaying instantly. The service has been optimised for speed and usability.
There are currently no plans to extend
MHP services to the satellite and cable markets, although NRK has been
trialling a news application on satellite since 2004. It is thought
that MHP capabilities may be introduced by the main operators, Get and
Canal Digital, with the next generation of receivers with built-in PVR.
