Switzerland's national telco Swisscom has added Christian family channel Bibel TV in high definition (HD) to its IPTV platform Swisscom TV.


Bibel TV HD is distributed in the Swisscom TV basic package at no extra charge for customers. The German channel will continue to be carried in standard definition (SD) in parallel.

"In spring 2014, a quarter of our programmes will be available in native HD quality," Bibel TV's managing director Matthias Brender said. "The programmes produced in SD format also appear on Bibel TV HD in considerably better picture quality through the higher resolution."

Bibel TV HD launched on 1 December 2013 via satellite on Astra (19.2° East).
