New themed TV programs can be received free of charge from Europe’s main Astra satellite system at position 19.2°E – in particular, German stations Deluxe Lounge, Serien+ and Red Adventure.

All three new FTA programming additions are operated by the High View company, which viewers know primarily from its Deluxe Music music television operations. In addition to these stations, viewers can receive 13 other genre stations from this operator in SD and FTA quality. At the same time, all its programs are available in a technically better distribution – in HD, but only for subscribers of the German pay TV platform HD+, which is focused on providing German private stations in HD resolution.

Deluxe Lounge offers viewers enjoyable lounge music accompanied by high-quality nature recordings. With soothing, atmospheric sounds, the station offers viewers a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
