"We've had a great deal of interest from across the Tasman to provide New Zealanders with movie and TV content for DTO and DTR," said John Karantzis, ReelTime.tv Managing Director.

The announcement comes as Sony buys a $1 million share of ReelTime.tv, after ReelTime.tv suspended trading its shares mid February to undertake a capital raising, having burned through most of the $4 million it raised in an IPO in April 2006.

ReelTime has also unveiled an Australian Home Entertainment Centre, which is set to bring movie downloads into the living room direct to the TV. The units will be available this month from the ReelTime.tv website and ReelTime.tv is also expecting to conclude retail agreements before the middle of the year.{moscomment}
