Tele2Vision
Tele2Vision(known as KabelVision before 2004) was a Swedish cable television distributor owned byTele2that was started in 1986.[1]
Tele2 was relatively late in adopting digital television, broadcasting analogue only until early 2006 (the other major distributors,Com Hem,SPA andCanal Digital,had been offering digital television for several years by then). The switch was however more straightforward. While the other distributors were simulcasting both analogue and digital television, Tele2Vision closed down most of the analogue channels when they launched digital television, leaving onlySVT1,SVT2,SVT24,Barnkanalen,Kunskapskanalen,TV4andTV6on analogue.
