The Russian DTH platform NTV-Plus has closed its Interactive TV service, which provided access to functions such as pause, rewind and viewing programmes from its archive on set-top boxes.
All subscribers who have the service along with Basic or Basic Plus programme packages will receive a month’s free access to its multiscreen (online TV) service in September, after which it will be available for R199 (€2.28) a month.
NTV-Plus says that subscribers whose Interactive TV service is connected to the Basic Online package are now being offered all Online TV functions.
It also stresses that not all channels available on a satellite TV subscription may be available on online TV due to the restriction of rights to broadcast on the internet.
