Comparable with the current HD+ service for satellite
TV-households, HD+ IP subscribers can watch both linear TV as well
as on-demand programmes and content without additional or
proprietary devices – everything is delivered through the HD+ IP
app directly integrated in TVs. HD+ IP will offer over 50 HD
channels, including public and private channels, with wide coverage
as well as access to multiple media libraries with on-demand
content. HD+ IP comes with popular features like an interactive TV
guide, instant restart of live TV and more.
“The launch of HD+ IP is the beginning of a new era for HD+ as
it gives viewers the choice in how they want to watch TV. HD+ IP is
especially important in terms of expanding our base of potential
customers to practically every household given the reach of
high-quality internet connections across the country. This is also
a milestone for our trading partners as the marketing of HD+ has
never been this easy and attractive before,” said Norbert H�lzle,
the Senior Vice President Commercial leading DACH by SES and
additionally Managing Director of HD+.
HD+ IP will be available for owners of new Panasonic TVs through
an automatic software update in December 2021. Panasonic was also
the first launch partner to integrate HD+ into its TV sets in
2019.
About HD+ subscriptions
HD+ subscribers will be able to enjoy the new HD+ IP service for
free for a month; after that, they can choose between a monthly
subscription for 6€ a month (via HD+ webstore) or the purchase of a
12-month long extension using a prepaid voucher for 75€ (in
specialized stores or HD+ webstore). HD+ subscribers can
additionally subscribe to HD+ ToGo to enjoy all the functions of
HD+ on their smartphones and tablets. Households with
satellite reception will continue to receive HD+ via ASTRA
satellites with no change to their high-quality HD and UHD
experience.
