Sony SET to be replaced by AXN on Spains TDT

Spain's version of film and action thematic channel AXN will replace Sony Entertainment Television en VEO (SET en VEO) on national DTT. The channel will be distributed on pay-DTT, adding a second pay-DTT channel for the country, joining Mediapro's sports channel Gol TV.

AXN, which has so far been available on cable, satellite and IPTV, will join Spain’s fledgling pay-DTT platform from next month.

The channel will use the DTT frequency used until now by SET en VEO. AXN will be available to all Gol TV's subscribers. Those encryption cards necessary to decode Gol TV will also be able to be used for AXN without any additional cost until August 31 as a promotion.

AXN's programming is based on entertainment content from national and international TV series and premier films. Among its most renowned series are CSI New York and recent series FlashForward.
