RTL enables instant restart at HD+

May 5, 2020 10.58 Europe/London By Jörn Krieger

The customers of German DTH satellite platform HD+ on Astra (19.2° East) can now also restart already running programmes on the channels of German broadcast group RTL.

The function is available on RTL HD, VOX HD, n-tv HD, Nitro HD, RTLzwei HD and Super RTL HD. Previously, this was only possible for ProSiebenSat.1 and Discovery channels.

If viewers switch on too late, they can jump back to the start of the currently running programme from the TV guide or the channel list. The service is part of the HD+ convenience function, which is integrated along with the HD+ channel package in the Ultra TV sets from Samsung and Panasonic from model year 2019.

In addition to restarting selected programmes, the convenience function includes direct access to TV catch-up services and an interactive TV guide covering both linear channels and on-demand content.

The convenience function is included in the monthly subscription price of €5.75 for the HD+ channel package without additional costs.
