Press release 

Zurich, 4 June 2010 

 

The summer’s top sports events - in brilliant HD quality 

 

Cablecom is offering its digital television customers in Switzerland the chance to 



enjoy this summer’s sport in high-definition picture and sound quality. Live in 3D 

on Eurosport, cablecom will present the French Open from the Roland Garros sta-

dium to selected customers.   

High-definition sport at home: with HD Suisse, the SRG SSR idée suisse channel, all cable-

com digital television customers in Switzerland will be able to enjoy the World Cup in South 

Africa in excellent high-definition picture quality.   

 

Eurosport HD offers even more high-definition sport. In Switzerland, the channel is only avail-



able on cable and currently reporting several hours a day live from the French Open in Paris. 

And with the Tour de France from 3 to 25 July, the next major sporting event is already just 

around the corner. 

 

In terms of performance, the next-generation Fiber Power cable network is exceptional. As a 



result, cablecom customers can follow an event live on an HD channel and record pro-

grammes simultaneously (also in HD) without negatively impacting the quality of other digital 

services (Internet, telephony).   

 

 



Live tennis in 3D 

 

On Sunday 6 June, Eurosport will broadcast the French Open live in 3D in partnership with 



the French Tennis Association (FFT) and Panasonic. This is the first time in Europe that a 14-

day sporting event will be aired in this format. Eurosport will supply the 3D signal via satellite 

from Paris. 

 

“Eurosport’s goal has always been to offer sports fans the best TV experience possible. After 



the success of HD, 3D will now add a new dimension to sports TV. In conjunction with our 

European partner, Panasonic, and our long-standing partner, cablecom in Switzerland, we 

have succeeded in broadcasting the French Open in 3D and have therefore also built on our 

partnership between the companies concerned. As a result, Eurosport is one of the first 

channels to air a 3D programmes in Switzerland”, comments Jean-Thierry Augustin, Manag-

ing Director Distribution & Development of the Eurosport Group. 

 



 

 

 



On Friday, 4 June, a special highlight will be cablecom’s broadcasting of an exclusive show-

case for selected viewers. The French Open men’s semi-finals will be shown in 3D at its 

headquarters in Zurich.  In this second 3D showcase, a three-dimensional signal will be 

transmitted over cablecom’s network and presented on Panasonic’s latest equipment.  

 

Thanks to continuous investment in the infrastructure, the cablecom Fiber Power network is 



prepared for this ground-breaking television experience. For reception, cablecom customers 

have a cablecom HD mediabox, or the DigiCard for 3D and already receive 3D content today, 

just as channels like Anixe HD offer in some cases.  The condition is that they have a 3D-

compatible TV set.
