RadioShack Corporation and MovieBeam, Inc today announced an agreement to sell the MovieBeam movies-on-demand system in approximately 1,700 neighbourhood RadioShack stores effective immediately. The rollout covers 31 major metropolitan areas across the US in which the MovieBeam service is currently offered.
The MovieBeam System is composed of a set-top box and small indoor antenna that receives, stores, protects and plays movies. A simple remote control facilitates navigation of the intuitive user interface. A customer does not need cable or satellite to receive the service, although MovieBeam is compatible with each.
The MovieBeam movies-on-demand service provides instant access to an ever-changing lineup of new releases and other popular favorites from virtually every major Hollywood studio. There are always 100 movies immediately available, with up to 10 new titles automatically delivered digitally each week – including select movies in high definition (HD).
The MovieBeam service is currently available in 31 metropolitan areas across the U.S. reaching more than 41 million households.
