The Russian telco MTS has added five Viacom channels to its DTH offer.
With the channels – Spike TV HD, Paramount Comedy, MTV, Nickelodeon and Nick Jr – the basic package now consists of 192 channels, while the subscription fee remains unchanged.
MTS says that to view the TV channels customers need to have reception equipment supporting the video compression format HEVC/H.265.
This allows it to offer more HD and Ultra HD channels.
