QCOSTARICA – Costa Rica’s Cabletica started offering wireless TV through its PlusTV brand, in addition to the service via coaxial cable, reports La Republica.
The pay-TV operator is entering a market in the country already dominated by Claro TV, Quality and Tigo with their satellite TV offers.
The basic service is being offered at the introduction price of ¢10,500 (US$19.80) monthly/television set for the first 12 months, with a grid of 54 channels including movies, series, sports, music, news, documentaries, and others.
Among the advantages that PlusTV touts on its website is easy installation as it requires a small antenna and digital box, and the signal is not adversely affected by inclement weather, as with satellite television.
This media tried to discuss this with Andres Nicolas, manager Cabletica, but did not respond to messages or emails sent.
