net1

Pace Micro Technology announced an order to supply digital set-top boxes direct to Premiere, Germany's largest digital TV operator and only national pay-TV broadcaster. Premiere will distribute Pace's digital satellite set-top boxes direct to subscribers as it continues to successfully roll-out digital pay-TV across Germany.

The contract is in addition to Premiere's award of a retail licence that enables Pace to retail Premiere-enabled digital satellite boxes in the German market. Premiere subscribers can choose to purchase Premiere-enabled set-top boxes in retail or rent direct from the broadcaster. Approximately half of Premiere's subscriber base currently owns a set-top box.

"Pace is delighted to have secured a second key business contract with Premiere, Germany's largest digital TV operator," said Pace's Heinrich E. Haase, Area Manager Central Europe. "Premiere's selection of Pace's digital set-top box for its direct sales business demonstrates Premiere's confidence in Pace's digital TV expertise."

Pace will supply Premiere its DS210 digital satellite set-top box with Nagravision Conditional Access (CA). In addition to delivering Premiere's multichannel pay-TV programmes and PREMIERE DIREKT, the broadcaster's pay-per-view channels, Pace's set-top box will also provide access to Germany's free-to-air channels and provide multi-angle TV services and an extended Electronic Program Guide (EPG).
