Amino has signed a landmark agreement that will see its new H.264 HD based AmiNET530 PVR STB play a key role in the expansion of Estonia's IPTV market. Elion has reached an agreement to use Amino's AmiNET530 Set-Top Box to offer premium services to its consumer and business IPTV subscribers. Based on state of the art H.264 HD technology, the AmiNET530 will enable Elion to provide tiered triple-play services with additional channels and HD TV and PVR services. Elion will begin introducing the PVR capabilities in November, with the HD service following later in the year.

Elion first partnered with Amino in 2006 when it launched Estonia's first ever IPTV deployment using the AmiNET110 STB. The number of Elion digital television users increased 16% on the first half of 2008, reaching 67,700 by the end of Q2 2008. This accounts for 17% of all households using TV services in Estonia. For the AmiNET530 implementation Elion has developed its own thin client middleware, based on the ANT Galio Browser with ANT Galio Client providing PVR functionality.
