Tiscali has revealed that it is to start rolling out its IPTV service nationwide across the UK, and aims to sign up 500,000 subscribers by the end of this year and extend its reach to 10mn households.

The service, called Tiscali TV, currently has 50,000 customers, mostly in North and West London and in Hertfordshire.  The service will initially be extended to central, north and north-west England, with areas in the north-east and Scotland to go live in October. 

Tiscali TV offers 80 channels, and the basic triple play package of video, voice and broadband is available from £19.99 per month, including Sky’s basic channels.  Sky’s premium movie and sports channels are also available, while an on-demand service features around 1,000 movie titles.
