Hong Kong's now TV offering Disney / ABC shows on HD VOD

Last time we checked in with a la carte IPTV provider now TV, the Hong Kong service had just hit a half million subscribers -- three years later its adding content from Disney - ABC to the high definition video on-demand offerings. Lost, Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, Kyle XY episodes and more are available at the press of a button for a $7.70 / month (U.S.) subscription fee. The only question now is when one of the big providers Stateside will let us build our own channel lineup.

UGH! Hong Kong has the CRAPPIEST selection of HD content. Although this HD VOD may help a little, the outrageous prices by NOW-TV are still there and they need to start offering HD bundle packages. US$6.50 per HD channel, ya I think I'll PASS!

Eh, Western content is always at a bit of a premium in Hong Kong. Is the local programming that bad as well?
