sixx even sharper! Womens channel to air in HD, starting December 1

Unterföhring, November 19, 2010. All good things come in fours; and sixx will be even sharper. Starting December 1, 2010, the fourth TV station of ProSiebenSat.1 TV Deutschland GmbH will be broadcast in HD (High Definition) on sixx HD. SAT.1, ProSieben and kabel eins have been available in HD already since January 31. The program on sixx HD is completely identical to sixxs SD (Standard Definition) program; it will be broadcast via satellite by SES ASTRAs Service HD+.

Compared to conventional SDTV (Standard-Definition Television), HDTV (High-Definition Television) displays the transmitted picture in a much higher optical resolution. With HDTV, TV images are much more detailed than before.

Highlight series like Life unexpected, the second season of 90210 and popular series like Desperate Housewives and Greys Anatomy will be broadcast for the first time in brilliant quality on sixx HD, the extra-sharp womens channel.
Andreas Bartl, TV Managing Director of ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG: Our offering is now complete. On December 1, sixx will be the last TV station of ProSiebenSat.1 TV Deutschland GmbH to make the important step to the broadcast standard of the future, marking a technical and quality milestone for our viewers.
