LG Uplus provides full HD IPTV service in 32 channels

LG Uplus has introduced a full HD service for its "u+tv G" Internet Protocol TV (IPTV) service launched in October last year.

LG Uplus, South Korea's third-largest mobile carrier, provides the service in 32 channels, including five terrestrial channels, the company said in a press release on Tuesday.

The new service improves display quality by two times, it said.

Choi Soon-jong, a senior executive of the mobile carrier, said that the number of channels in full HD will be increased to 50 next month and 70 by the end of this year.
