由来
  • 电缆电视于1995年正式在新加坡推出。
  • 淡滨尼（Tampines）是新加坡第一个启用电缆电视的新镇，居民可收看30个频道，以及九个国际电视台的节目。
  • 到了1998年，新加坡全岛铺设电缆的工程完成，全国都可以使用电缆电视服务，让观众观看付费的电视频道。
  • 电缆电视提供的节目类别包括新闻、音乐、体育、教育、电影、娱乐等。
  • 电缆电视还没推出时，观众是通过特定的接收器，利用超高频率（super high frequency）广播来收看新加坡电缆电视（Singapore Cable Vision）的三个付费波道。
  • 相较于超高频率无线电，电缆电视的收费较便宜，画面也更清晰。
  • 新加坡电缆电视和固网电话公司星和（Starhub）在2001年合并。合并后的新公司负责电缆电视服务，提供收费更合理的电缆电视服务。
ETYMOLOGY
  • “Cable television” was officially rolled out in Singapore in 1995.
  • Tampines was the first new town in Singapore to kick off cable television. Residents were able to watch content from 30 channels and nine international television stations.
  • By 1998, the project of laying cables across Singapore was completed, and cable television service became available throughout the country, allowing viewers to watch content from paid channels.
  • The types of programmes provided by cable television include news, music, sports, education, movies, and entertainment.
  • Before cable television was launched, viewers relied on super high frequency broadcasting through special receivers to watch content from the three paid channels of Singapore Cable Vision.
  • Compared with super high frequency broadcasting, cable television charges a lower fee and also offers better image quality.
  • Singapore Cable Vision and landline telecommunications company Starhub merged in 2001. The newly merged company is responsible for cable television service, providing it at a more reasonable fee.
