Top Up TV has chosen Mediaguard, Nagra France's conditional access system, to equip all of its set top boxes. Top Up TV, a new service expected to launch in March, will offer ten of the best UK TV channels for a no-ties month-to-month subscription of just £7.99, (E11.5) plus a one-off £20 connection fee.
Top Up TV's channel line-up includes UK Gold, E4, Cartoon Network, Discovery, UK Style, UK Food, Bloomberg, Boomerang, Discovery Home and Leisure and Turner Classic Movies plus the option of the adult service Television X Channel, which will be available as an additional service. Top Up TV will use the former ITV Digital boxes equipped with Mediaguard which are still deployed in UK TV homes. In the coming months, Mediaguard will also be ported on additional set-top boxes allowing access to the Top-Up TV service offering.
Meanwhile, Philippine-based broadcasting network ABS-CBN Global Limited has selected Nagravision's smart card technology for its European operation. With worldwide subscribers numbering close to a million and spanning the Asia Pacific, Middle East and North America, ABS-CBN Global is currently in the process of creating satellite networks across Europe to deliver programming services to the many Filipino expatriates in these areas.
To help achieve this, Nagravision recently integrated its technology in the Europe
operations of ABS-CBN Global, a subsidiary of ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation, the largest network in the Philippines with a leading 42 per cent market share. "ABS-CBN has established continued growth, not only in our home market but globally, with ABS-CBN Global's The Filipino Channel Direct! (TFCDirect!), the flagship product of the network's business plan," says Victor Zaragoza, the multi-national company's Technical Services Director.
