Vodafone Deutschland is expanding the GigaTV platform on its cable network with Discovery Channel content in Ultra HD resolution (UHD).
GigaTV customers can now access the programmes free of charge in the video-on-demand library.
“We have been producing a wide range of UHD content both globally and locally for years. With Vodafone, we now have the opportunity to deliver the new quality standard for the first time in the video-on-demand area,” said Thomas Bichlmeir, director distribution & commercial strategy at Discovery Deutschland.
With Discovery Ultra, the US broadcaster is also planning a linear UHD channel, which is soon to be offered to networks operators in Europe.
