HD+ IP comes with popular features like an interactive TV guide, instant restart of live TV and more.
“The launch of HD+ IP is the beginning of a new era for HD+ as it gives viewers the choice in how they want to watch TV. HD+ IP is especially important in terms of expanding our base of potential customers to practically every household given the reach of high-quality internet connections across the country. This is also a milestone for our trading partners as the marketing of HD+ has never been this easy and attractive before,” said Norbert Hölzle, the Senior Vice President Commercial leading DACH by SES and additionally Managing Director of HD+.
HD+ IP will be available for owners of new Panasonic TVs through an automatic software update in December 2021. Panasonic was also the first launch partner to integrate HD+ into its TV sets in 2019.
