Cineman is launching what it claims is Switzerland's first video-on-demand (VOD) service without a basic fee or set-top box at Cineman.com. The operator of the new service for film fans is Cinergy AG, which is also behind the cinema portal Cineman.ch. 200 Hollywood movies, classics and documentaries can be downloaded from Cineman.com to your home screen at the click of a mouse. The titles in DVD quality can be rented or purchased. The selection of films is constantly being expanded and is expected to include around 1,000 titles by the end of the year. Thanks to advertising financing, various titles will also be offered for free download this year. The launch with Hollywood films will soon be followed by Swiss and European independent films.
