Tiscali has secured a unique deal with on-demand broadcaster Jump TV to stream global television shows to its customers.

UK customers of the Italian-owned ISP will have access to television channels from over 70 countries in the deal, with Jump TV being added to the entertainment section to the portal.

Jump TV, based in Toronto, said it wanted to help ISPs cope with an immigrating population by providing television which cable and satellite operators do not have access to, the BBC reports.

Alex Hole, head of online at Tiscali UK, said: "At Tiscali, we understand how important video content is to our users, as the entertainment section is one of the most popular in our extensive portal."

Last month, Tiscali bought out rival ISP Pipex for £210 million, expanding its customer base to 1.9 million.
