Sky Italia to offer DVB-T USB stick for its HD STBs

In December, Sky Italia (NASDAQ: NWS, NWSA; ASX: NWS, NWSLV) is planning to launch a ‘Digital Key’ DVB-T USB stick which will allow Sky HD and My Sky HD users to receive the free RAI and Mediaset channels that, since the launch of TivùSat, are no longer being broadcast by Sky Italia, but are available via the digital terrestrial network.

The Digital Key will be integrated with the Sky EPG to give channel access through the existing remote control.
