UPC Austria launches CI Plus

Cable operator UPC Austria has begun offering its digital TV service via CI Plus modules.

The move means that subscribers can now access UPC’s service without a set-top box, via a UPC-certified TV produced by Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, Philips, LG, Loewe, Sharp or Bang and Olufsen, with other manufacturers to follow. For first TV screens, modules are available for €3 a month, while for second TVs the charge is €5.90, on top of the subscription for the digital service.
