20th January 2004
Last Sunday night, the match between Atlético Madrid and Sevilla will be remembered, not for the importance of the match itself, but for having been the first live broadcast in the High Definition format (HD) made by wTVision.
This was the first match that Rainbow Sports Networks broadcasted to the United States, in the HD format. Future broadcasts will include games from the Spanish League (“La Liga”), “Copa del Rey”, and possibly, starting on February, games from the UEFA Cup. Media Pro will be in charge of the operations, producing these matches.
wTVision's team of creative artists and graphic designers are responsible for the conceptualization and implementation of the on air graphics used in the live broadcasts. wTVision’s production team is responsible for the scouting and air graphics production in real time, operating wTVision’s systems – SportStats CG.
This first experience in this new format was a success. Everything went well and everyone was satisfied, including the Rainbow Sports Networks.
Having already proven its capabilities in terms of 2D and 3D on air graphics, wTVision shows once more that it’s in the vanguard, with this new feature directed for the High Definition broadcasts.
How about Media Pro:
Here at this page (although in Spanish), they talked about producing this match for Rainbow: Here

So, there you go it looks like VOOM is very serious about this by contracting two companies like this since it looks from their website that they are able to do all production and uplink to VOOM of any HD signal. They also have major rights to sports events and movies and have major tv clients in europe. This is good information to digest. Visit their website they have a lot of information. If you see something interested comeback and post here.
