Welsh IPTV distributor Inuk, whose FreewireTV delivers 50+ channels to students’ personal PCs, has signed a deal to enhance the service. Inuk beams the TV to the desktop via Igloo, its software-based “virtual set-top box”, which joins the likes of Livestation and Zattoo in the PC- and Mac-based live TV game. It’s targeting the same TV-to-PC bridge market offered by the Slingbox, and Irish telco Magnet Networks this week adopted Igloo’s service to do just that.
