Vodafone Italia will offer some channels from Sky TV over the DVB-H network it leases from MediaSet, backed-up by its own transmission network. The channels will be free until the end of March next year.
The two channels are FX Mobile and FoxOne… FX Mobile is aimed at males and offers Italian comedy and movies as well as “male-themed programmes covering reality, humour, women and cars”, while FoxOne includes programs from Fox, FoxLife and FoxCrime (eg, US dramas CSI, CSI: Miami and CSI: New York, 24, teen property Angel, and animated shows such as Family Guy and Futurama) and original Italian productions including “Reparto Maternità (Maternity Ward), set in a major Roman hospital, and Cambio Moglie (Wife Swap), the reality show in which two women contestants swap families”.
UPDATE: Peggy has chased up the pricing…after the free period the service will cost
