    MUMBAI: Rainbow HD Holdings, LLC (Rainbow), has added new Voom HD content to its slate of offerings distributed by Tangerine Global, LLC to five star hotels in Hong Kong.

    Rave HD is said to be the fifth Voom HD brand to be distributed by Tangerine Global, with the other four brands-Rush HD, Equator HD, Ultra HD and Gallery HD. 

    Rave HD will be accessible to Mandarin Oriental Hotels’ newly refurbished flagship property in Hong Kong, according to an official release.

    Rave HD was added to the lineup earlier this month, when Hong Kong’s Mandarin Oriental Hotel reopened to a gala celebration after undergoing a $140 million dollar rennovation to incorporate revolutionary technology, comfort and design.

    All guest rooms and suites now feature flat screen high-definition televisions on which guests will find Voom’s thematic programming and two additional custom HD channels-Wine & Beverage and Fitness & Yoga-developed by Tangerine.
