Deluxe Lounge HD music channel launches on Germany's Deluxe Television

Munich-based Deluxe Television has just launched an all new music channel in high-def, Deluxe Lounge HD. For now, the station is being broadcast on Kabel BW's cable systems in the region-state of Baden-Württemberg, and while it's currently being distributed free-to-air, the signal is scheduled to be encrypted in early 2009. The station is said to be completely commercial free and shows only content that was originally produced in high-definition; according to founder and CEO Markus Langemann, the channel aims to "offer pure relaxation for eyes and ears." If Deluxe Television has its way, it'll be available on many more systems in the near future, and we can't imagine any HD-lovin' German being opposed to that.
