Channels 1+1 and Ukraine Switch to Full HD
Other popular channels are expected to do the same in the near future.
Channels “1+1” and “Ukraine” switched to HD broadcasting in the last days of 2019.
The state broadcaster “UA:Pershyi” launched HD broadcasting back in 2018. Some other niche Ukrainian channels are also available in high definition. Channels “Football 1” and “Football 2” have been broadcasting in HD for 7 years already.
The following channels also announced their switch to HD in 2020:
- ICTV
- New Channel
- STB
- Channel 5
- Inter
More channels may switch to HD, including those in the 1+1 and Inter media groups, besides the flagships.
Watching channels in HD requires a TV set that supports this format and, in some cases, additional set-top boxes. T2 users will not have access to the HD format.
From January 20, Ukrainian channels will start encrypting their satellite signal, so watching them free of charge via satellite dish will become impossible.
