SKY Italia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SKY Italia is an Italian digital satellite television platform owned by News Corporation. It is similar in many ways to BSkyB's Sky Digital in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and like that network it is a major sports broadcaster.
Pay TV services on SKY Italia are encrypted in NDS Videoguard. The provided Videoguard decoders are identical to the Digibox used in the UK. PACE, Amstrad and Thomson, all Digibox licencsors, produce SKY Italia boxes (SKYBOX) identical to their Digibox offerings, albeit with different branding and the potential removal of the second card slot and UHF modulator. In addition, other providers such as Italtel and Access Media produce SKY Italia boxes but not Digiboxes.
On the 22 November 2005 SKY Italia introduced MySKY - based on a new digital receiver with HDD recording capabilities and surround sound output (not previously available on the normal decoder). This service is provided at an extra charge and the decoder must be connected to a phone line. The service is functionally identical to the BSkyB Sky+.
SKY offers four types of mixing packages: Mondo, Cinema, Sport and Calcio. The first, Mondo, contents all the entertainment, music, kids, teens and culture channels and some sport channels: it's the basic mix. The Cinema package contents 9 all-movies channels. The Sport package contents SKY Sport 1, 2, 3, Extra, 16:9, Eurosport, Eurosport 2 and Sailing Channel. The Calcio package, instead, contents 17 channels aimed at football, the most played sport in Italy.
