All channels from Italian public broadcaster Rai are now available in HD on the Tivùsatfree-to-view satellite DTH platform.

Rai YoYo, Rai School, Rai Gulp, Rai Storia and Rai News24 were the last of 13 Rai channels to start broadcasting in HD on ghe satellote. The operation was completed this week with the collaboration of Rai Way that operates the signal transmission and broadcasting network for Italy’s national public broadcaster.

Tivùsat was set up to ensure that everyone in Italy has access to free digital TV. By reaching all areas of Italian territory, viewers can access all national DTT channels and a diverse line up of national and international channels. The platform is encrypted, but free-to-view with a certified receiver and smart card.

Tivùsat’s full line-up now comprises over 100 channels, of which 24 in HD and 80 in Standard Digital, plus 33 radio stations. A total of 2.9 million Tivùsat smartcards have been activated.

Renato Farina, CEO of Eutelsat Italy, said: “Ensuring that all Italian TV homes can access the highest signal quality is a priority for Eutelsat. We are delighted to be part of the effort to accelerate Tivùsat’s HD offer and to take part in other exceptional ventures such as the documentary Tonight at St Peter’s that was produced by Rai in Ultra HD and broadcast to Tivùsat homes on 27 December.”
