Swiss consumers are now able to use their high-speed Internet connections to view television as part of a service that Swisscom AG officially launched on Tuesday after delaying the offering for more than a year.

The Bluewin TV service uses the IPTV software platform developed by Microsoft

The service will initially offer more than 100 TV channels and more than 500 video-on-demand films. Additional features include an electronic program guide with details of current and upcoming programs, a live pause function and remote recording via mobile phone or the Internet.
