Russia’s leading pay-TV operator Tricolor TV has launched a commercial Ultra HD package.
The package consists of three channels – Tricolor Ultra HD, a 24-hour service offering mostly full-length Russian and foreign movies; Insight UHD, produced by the Dutch company TERN and aimed at viewers aged 18-45; and Fashion One – and costs R1,200 (€17) a year to receive.
Tricolor TV carried out Russia’s first Ultra HD satellite broadcast in June 2013. It began testing its Ultra HD package in November 2015.
