奧運

With the Rio Olympics around the corner, Chunghwa Telecom is ready to offer live broadcast services of the Games on Movies-on-Demand, or MOD, and Chunghwa Video.

Chunghwa Telecom says starting from the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, which is scheduled in the early morning of August 6th Taipei time, Elta TV on MOD will broadcast different events non-stop on 14 channels.

Aside from 3,000 hours of broadcast, there will be 500 hours of programming stored in MOD’s Video-on-Demand (VOD) section for those who can not make it in time to watch the games live, according to the telecom company.

In addition, viewers can also watch the Games on chtvideo.hinet.net, a website that’s available on computers and mobile devices.

But they need to register as Chunghwa Telecom’s members before gaining access to chtvideo.
