BigFlix Movie Download Set-Top Box
Thursday, September 11, 2008
For the first time in India [and probably the world ?] Reliance Entertainment group company BigFlix is planning to launch a separate Set-Top Box to enable users to download and play movies using the same. Mostly NRIs have used BigFlix's movie download services which is currently through the PC / Laptop and Broadband Platform.Company sources indicated that the BigFlix Set-top Box will be much smaller than your regular Digital /Dish TV set-top box. The idea behind this move could be to curtail video piracy by encoding the videos to play to BigFlix platform. Currently 50K to 75k videos are downloaded from BigFlix every month.
BigFlix is the largest DVD Movie rental company in India with 17,000 titles and 120 stores as well. BigFlix plans to expand its presence to 20 more cities and also sell DVD Movies.

Just need to clarify here. BIGFlix.com is not set to LAUNCH set top boxes in the coming future, but is looking at tying up with companies who manufature set top boxes. The company will only have their movies and other content relayed on television via set top boxes.
Cheers and Regards
