Qualy TV, Costa Rica’s Direct-to-Home television service, announced today it will be ceasing its operations. The announcement comes just under two years after its commercial launch in Costa Rica, reported The Netherlands’ digital Telecompaper.
“In the last few months we have experienced various difficulties beyond our control, prompting us to take the decision to close operations definitively,” said the company on its Facebook page.
The service will continue operating until September 30 at no cost to subscribers, continued Telecompaper.
Qualy TV, is part of the Albavision Group, and started offering DTH TV to clients in Costa Rica in November 2014 on the satellite broadband Media Networks platform, a Telefonica unit.
It offered 64 national and international channels for CRC12,500 per month, said Telecompaper, a telecommunications-industry-focused media operating since 2000.
Qualy TV still has a presence in Nicaragua and Guatemala, and has previously said they plan to expand to other markets in the region including Honduras, El Salvador, and the Dominican Republic.
