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.

Cyfrowy Polsat S.A. and TVN S.A. signed agreements extending the current cooperation regarding the distribution of paid and FTA channels broadcast by TVN.

Cyfrowy Polsat’s VOD Home Movie Rental is celebrating its 5th birthday. On this occasion, Poland’s largest satellite platform prepared a gift for its clients. Only on November 30 this year all movies are available 50% off.

As a result of extended cooperation with media company A+E Networks, Cyfrowy Polsat’s programming offer will be expanded to include two new thematic channels in HD standard - H2 HD and Lifetime HD. Both channels will begin broadcasting on the platform on December 3 and will be included in one of the most popular programming packages – Familijny Max HD, which will now offer 103 popular channels for the entire family, 22 in HD standard.
