Austrian commercial TV channel ATV HD and its sister service ATV2 will become available on DTH platform HD Austria on Astra (19.2° East).
The channels will not be part of a subscription package and no access fees have to be paid by viewers. However, the signals will be encrypted for copyright reasons to restrict reception to satellite households in Austria.
With ATV HD and ATV2, the platform operated by M7 Group will comprise all domestic Austrian TV channels. The new additions are scheduled to become available to HD Austria customers before Christmas 2015.
