DirecTV has begun rolling out its Ultra HD strategy in Latin America, in anticipation of this year’s FIFA World Cup in Russia.
The operator is preparing to launch its UHD set-top-box in April and will provide full coverage of Russia 2018 in UHD to customers across Argentina. Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay are also part of DirecTV’s UHD LatAm roadmap.
DirecTV also announced it is in talks with Spanish football division LaLiga to begin providing coverage in UHD.
