Online media content provider Akimbo Systems has announced that it will for the first time offer broadband-delivered, high-definition programmes for viewing on subscribers' PC monitors and HD television sets.

A deal with HDNet, a provider of high-definition programming, will allow selected titles from Akimbo's library of 8,000-plus on-demand television shows, feature films, documentaries, music videos and sporting events available for download for Windows XP Media Centre Edition, via Akimbo's US service.

A free trial is available through the Online Spotlight area of Microsoft Media Centre Edition 2005 PCs. A subscription to the first internet-delivered on-demand service costs $9.99 (£5.70) a month.
