German transmission company Media Broadcast will launch its hybrid media portal which connects DTT with online video tomorrow (Wednesday).
Called Multithek, the new service will launch in Berlin, Hamburg, Saarbrücken, Hannover, Braunschweig, Stuttgart and in the Rhine-Main area covering Frankfurt, Wiesbaden and Mainz.
The Multithek “channels” will be shown in the EPG and can be tuned into as any other channel. Of course, the TV set need to be equipped with HbbTV and connected to the internet.
According to Media Broadcast, around 20 content providers will be part of the initial offer, including ARD, ZDF, QVC and QTom. The operator works in conjunction with Hamburg-based NetRange.
