product and service offering of Telekom, for more than four
million households. This could further increase the
community of interactive television subscribers of T-Home,
currently standing at 280 thousand, and more households can
become familiar with this new form of television viewing"
said Christopher Mattheisen, chairman - chief executive
officer of Magyar Telekom.
This service is available for those customers who have
access to a guaranteed download speed of over 1 Mbit/s,
furthermore, when using the Internet service, the customer
has to ensure that the minimum downlink speed towards the
digital indoor receiving unit (set-top box) should be at
least 0.5 Mbit/s, and the uplink speed should be at least
0.1 Mbit/s.As is generally known, after the IPTV service of
T-Home was introduced in the domestic market for the first
time (in November 2006), T-Home was once again a pioneer in
offering its satellite TV service extended by the new
interactive services (in December 2011).
FanHeart(RajongóSzív) - our hearts beat together for the
success of our Olympic athletes
Being the largest telecommunication operator of Hungary,
Telekom contributes to accomplishing the objectives of the
Hungarian Olympic Committee as a Gold Grade Chief Sponsor,
and supports the preparation of the athletes competing in
the Olympic Games in London. As part of its preparations
for the Olympics, T-Home has developed a special community
application in support of the successful performance of the
current best athletes of Hungary, which is open for every
sports enthusiast rooting for the success of our Olympic
athletes.
Through the website of www.igazirajongok.hu
created by T-Home, after logging in through their Facebook
profile, anyone can send a virtual heartbeat as a token of
their enthusiasm, rooting and support to the athletes and
teams participating in the Olympics, helping them with
accomplishing the best possible results. The Olympic
athletes can see or feel the heartbeat immediately: T-Home
will deliver to them special FanHearts before departing for
the Games - these hearts will accompany them to London and
remain with them for the entire duration of the Olympics.
Each received heartbeat will make the FanHeart beat once
and flash, thus the athletes will always be aware how many
people think of them and how often, in Hungary or in any
part of the world.
In addition to all these features, everybody will have an
opportunity to view the messages sent by themselves or
other supporters through the page of www.igazirajongok.hu on
the interactive message walls erected in the Telekom
Olympic Fan Club in City Park of Budapest and in one of the
busiest points of the capital, in Erzsébet square; the
messages can be virtually unpacked and read in the given
premises using a sensor.
London Interactive for sports fans
Being a pioneer in innovation, T-Home has developed a
special application by the name of London Interactive and

about the Olympics on the screens of their TVs almost
immediately after they were released, they will not have to
miss the Olympic events covered by MTVA, either. Thanks to
the new features, subscribers to Interactive TV will also
get access to the Archive TV offering of this service, one
hour after the closing of the events and matches they will
find and review them for 72 hours (3 days), in SD and - for
customers with HD TV sets - in HD quality as well.

viewers will be able to continuously browse the most recent
articles, news of [origo] about the Olympics, study the
timetables of the contests, the results, the development of
the medal table, furthermore, they can obtain useful
information and see illustrated reports about the
participating Olympic athletes and teams.The special

as usual. The application can be accessed very

red button on the m1, m2 and m1 HD and m2 HD channels.
Telecom Olympic Fan Club in City Park
Those patrons who visit the club in Városligeti sétány
(City Park Promenade), offering, perhaps, the most pleasant
atmosphere one can find in any free outdoor fan clubs this
summer, will have an opportunity to get immersed in the
full community experience of supporting and rooting.In the
heart of City Park, a place with a history of almost 200
years, in the vicinity of the beautifully renovated Ice
Rink, from a pier of almost 1000 m² installed on the
Boating Lake of City Park, several thousand patrons will be
able to view the events of the Games simultaneously on the
huge display of 25 m² erected in the premises, while in the
only "official" Olympic supporting premises of
the country, in the Olympic Fan Club of Telekom, they can
enjoy the coverage of the Games in HD quality and even in
3D.
A wide and special offering of meals and beverages,
waterfront environment, concerts, salsa and funky nights
will guarantee routing with entertainment, while experts
commentators will present the meetings of various sports to
the audience, former Olympic athletes who accepted the
invitation of the Telekom Olympic Club. In addition, by the
special application of Telekom the supporters will have an
opportunity to express their personal support to members of
the Hungarian Olympic team, and their playful mood can also
serve charitable purposes.
