Boxer Puts a Price on TV2

Starting January the days of watching TV2 for free are over. After New Year, viewers must pay to watch the channel.

2011-12-23

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK, December 23, 2011 (Press-News.org) At Boxer, we have decided to include TV2 in each of our four TV-packages, so our customers can keep viewing the channel. And on top of this, we are also making Danish TV-history by making it possible for our customers to purchase the channel (in Danish the term is Tv kanaler) separately. For the first time ever, our customers can choose to pay for a single channel without purchasing a full TV-package.

Here are the prices for TV2 purchased separately:

-19 kr./monthly subscription

-199 kr./annual card fee (primarily running and maintenance costs). The fee makes up approximately one forth of Boxer's standard card-fee of 778 kr. annually.

The total cost of TV2 will be around 35kr. per month - less than the price of renting a premium film.

We are proud to present a price for TV2 (in Danish - TV2 betalingskanal) sold loose that is considerably lower than what has recently been speculated in the media. And we are very proud to once again be the TV-provider that takes the lead with more freedom of choice than our customers could get with any of the other providers. This is why we've chosen to make it possible for our customers to buy TV2 separately. Our customers get a freer choice, and Boxer becomes the first TV-provider in Denmark to offer real a la carte, says administrative director Steen Ulf Jensen, Boxer TV A/S.

In three of Boxers TV-packages - Boxer MINI, Boxer MIX, and Boxer MAX - TV2 will be included automatically. Subscribers to Boxer Flex8 can select the channel as one out of 8 optional channels in the mix-and-max package.

From January viewers must subscribe to Boxer if they wish to view TV2 on TV-sets with aerial reception.

Make sure your reception equipment is Boxer-approved. This is your guarantee that everything is in order so you can continue to view TV2 starting January 2012. It is a technical requirement that your TV or transmission box is up to the MPEG4-standard. If you are watching TV with a transmission box, your box already has a built-in card reader. To bring your TV up to standard, acquire a card reader compatible with your TV.

TV2-cards will be on sale at Boxer and Boxer-retailers across the country from October 3rd 2011.

When the mountains call . . .

2011-12-23

When the Mountains Call . . . . . . don't climb too fast! Lack of acclimatization and excessively rapid ascent are the main risk factors for acute mountain sickness, as Kai Schommer and Peter Bärtsch explain in this issue of Deutsches Ärzteblatt International (Dtsch Arztebl Int 2011; 108 [49]: 839-48). More and more tourists are climbing up mountains that are 5000 to almost 7000 meters high, such as Kilimanjaro, without any prior experience at high altitudes. The low oxygen content in the air can cause altitude sicknesses of various kinds. For example, sudden vomiting ...

Virgin olive oil & fish fatty acids help prevent acute pancreatitis

2011-12-23

The researchers evaluated the role of Mediterranean diet ingredients in the prevention and mitigation of cell damage. Oleic acid and hydroxytyrosol –present in a particularly high concentration in virgin olive oil– and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids –found in fish– affect the cellular mechanisms involved in the development of acute pancreatitis, a disease of oxidative-inflammatory etiology. Therefore, oleic acid and hydroxytyrosol can be considered potential functional ingredients, as they may prevent or mitigate this disease. Such was the conclusion drawn in a study ...

High genetic diversity in an ancient Hawaiian clone

2011-12-23

The entire Hawaiian population of the peat moss Sphagnum palustre appears to be a clone that has been in existence for some 50,000 years researchers have discovered. The study is published in New Phytologist. Among the most long-lived of organisms, every plant of the Hawaiian population appears to have been produced by vegetative rather than sexual propagation and can be traced back to a single parent. Surprisingly, the genetic diversity of the Hawaiian clone is comparable to that detected in populations of S. palustre that do propagate sexually and occur across vaster ...

Harvard physicists demonstrate a new cooling technique for quantum gases

2011-12-23

Physicists at Harvard University have realized a new way to cool synthetic materials by employing a quantum algorithm to remove excess energy. The research, published this week in the journal Nature, is the first application of such an "algorithmic cooling" technique to ultra-cold atomic gases, opening new possibilities from materials science to quantum computation. "Ultracold atoms are the coldest objects in the known universe," explains senior author Markus Greiner, associate professor of Physics at Harvard. "Their temperature is only a billionth of a degree above absolute ...

Fish oil may hold key to leukemia cure

2011-12-23

A compound produced from fish oil that appears to target leukemia stem cells could lead to a cure for the disease, according to Penn State researchers. The compound -- delta-12-protaglandin J3, or D12-PGJ3 -- targeted and killed the stem cells of chronic myelogenous leukemia, or CML, in mice, said Sandeep Prabhu, associate professor of immunology and molecular toxicology in the Department of Veterinary and Medical Sciences. The compound is produced from EPA -- Eicosapentaenoic Acid -- an Omega-3 fatty acid found in fish and in fish oil, he said. "Research in the past ...

First ever direct measurement of the Earth's rotation

2011-12-23

This press release is available in German.The Earth wobbles. Like a spinning top touched in mid-spin, its rotational axis fluctuates in relation to space. This is partly caused by gravitation from the sun and the moon. At the same time, the Earth's rotational axis constantly changes relative to the Earth's surface. On the one hand, this is caused by variation in atmospheric pressure, ocean loading and wind. These elements combine in an effect known as the Chandler wobble to create polar motion. Named after the scientist who discovered it, this phenomenon has a period of ...

American Cancer Society study finds colorectal cancer mortality dropping slower in African Americans

2011-12-23

ATLANTA -- A new study finds that while colorectal cancer mortality rates dropped in the most recent two decades for every stage in both African Americans and whites, the decreases were smaller for African Americans, particularly for distant stage disease. The authors say concerted efforts to prevent or detect colorectal cancer at earlier stages in blacks could improve worsening black-white disparities. Before 1980, colorectal cancer mortality rates for African Americans were lower than those for whites. Since then, however, the pattern of CRC mortality rates has reversed ...
