The subscribers of Swiss pay-TV channel Teleclub are to get free second generation d-box decoders. As part of the change in the transmission system from analogue PAL to digital MPEG-2/DVB, the Syster/Nagravision decoders of Teleclub’s 85,000 subscribers will be exchanged with d-box II decoders at no charge to the subs. The enhanced, second generation d-boxes will be launched at the consumer electronics fair, the Internationale Funkausstel-lung, in Berlin at the end of August. The offer is valid both for cable and satellite homes. The move came about because Pro Sieben-backed N24 has arranged to take over Teleclub’s valuable analogue Astra 1D transponder. In return Pro Sieben will not only pay the regular lease but also an additional DM eight figure sum which will be used by Teleclub to finance the decoder exchange.
