The leading Ukrainian cable operator Volia has announced the launch of a new Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) as part of its ‘next generation’ television service VOLIA Smart HD.
It allows viewers for the first time to see the current programme schedule even if a channel has just updated it.
By pressing the EPG button on the remote they can also get information on programmes that have already begun and will be broadcast on selected channels during the week.
Volia launched its VOLIA Smart HD service earlier this month, running on both its own cable network and third party infrastructure.
It plans to introduce hybrid STBs in April, followed by a number of additional services including multiscreen and catch-up at the end of the summer.
Separately, Volia has announced a number of changes to its offer in the capital, Kiev.
Due to come in this April, they include the addition of the family channel Sontze and teleshopping TV Sale.
