Trade title New Media Markets reports that Real Digital will offer access to 200 standard and high definition free to air channels including those available on Freesat plus a selection of as-yet-unannounced pay TV channels which could bring the total to 250 at launch.

Subscribers will be asked to purchase a viewing card for a one-off fee of £20 but it is not known what form of encryption will be used.
