Cyfrowy Polsat switches to modern MPEG-4 compression system

From October this year Cyfrowy Polsat will provide TV services using only the MPEG-4 compression standard, which gives new possibilities and ensures higher signal quality. Cyfrowy Polsat thus withdraws from using the older and less effective MPEG-2 standard. The switch to MPEG-4 will take place in phases with the finalization of the process planned for the end of September this year. Nearly 100% of Cyfrowy Polsat’s subscribers already use HD set-top boxes designed to receive MPEG-4. The remaining customers are entitled to a free of charge replacement of their equipment.
