I’ll ask a question that will probably interest a lot of people. Why can’t the two channels RTLup and VOXup operated by the RTL Group also be received in HD on blue TV? Small providers such as B. Teleboy has had the channels in HD for ages.
Is it because there is no Swiss window for these channels yet?
My research has shown that it could really be the case that the major providers in CH, including Sunrise/UPC, only offer the channels in HD when there is a Swiss version, i.e. a CH advertising window and from [Goldbach Group](https ://goldbach.com/ch/de/portfolio/tv/sender) (private TV stations) is marketed.
@snowmanch The majority of television viewers probably sit far too far away considering the size of the TV, so there is a lot of truth to your comment. Let’s hope Swisscom isn’t your slave 🤣.

Although Swisscom could save even more. The majority of people don’t need HD either; SD is still sufficient for a long time. When I see the size of the TVs and the seating distance, there is hardly anything left of HD.
And yet everyone is screaming for 4k and 8k devices are already selling quite well. And there are also the first samples from 16k TV. The show must go on, regardless of whether you need it and how much of a burden it is on the environment.
@snowmanch Normally 4K is the standard when you buy a television these days. 8K and more only makes sense at 100 inches, but rather at 120 inches and more. But the content with content in 8K is still missing, so it’s more like marketing posturing. Why e.g. B. Samsung sold 8K TV with 55 inches is a mystery to me…
