Playboy TV to Be First Channel Carried Via Poland's ASTER Internet Network

ASTER, one of the largest providers of telecommunication services, has launched a pilot project in Warsaw and surrounding areas to deliver television via internet network. Playboy TV is the first channel made available by ASTER. ASTER is the first telecommunications operator in Poland to offer this innovative service.

This service allows ASTER subscribers to access a TV channel using a computer connected to the ASTER internet network. TV signal is transformed into IP transmission and then passed via internet network to all connected ASTER subscribers. It can then be seen through the internet browser using the RealPlayer application. This is the first time that the capabilities of IP Multicast technology have been applied in Poland. This technology allows for the optimum use of the existing infrastructure and ensures the maximum quality of a transmitted signal.

The program may be accessed via www.aster.pl. The service may be purchased through the Wilga Independent Administration System available on the ASTER website. Playboy TV may be accessed after logging onto the system with the use of the ASTER internet link and unique log-in and password.
