Liberty Global’s Dutch cablenet Ziggo has finally launched the Italiana TV app on the Horizon set-top box.
The new app brings six Italian language channels to Dutch homes, five public channels from RAI (Rai Uno, Rai Due, Rai Tre, Rai News 24 and Rai Storia) as well as Mediaset Italia, which is a ‘best of’ channel with programmes from Canal 5, Rete 4 and Italia Uno.
The app is still in beta and is offered free of charge for the time being. The introduction of apps offering streaming channels is a new development at Ziggo, enabling the cabler to offer more live channels without eating up bandwidth.
Earlier this year Ziggo launched a similar app, TV Française, which offers eight French language channels.
