UPC Broadband Slovakia is reported to have started test transmissions of the HD channels National Geographic HD and NonStop Kino HD, with a view to introducing the two services into its digital package UPC Digital at the beginning of 2008. UPC Broadband Slovakia began a trial involving HD ready TV sets in July this year and subsequently launched UPC Digital, which offers viewers a total of 70 channels. NonStop Kino HD is already believed to be distributed by the Bratislava-based company Micronet.
