La 7 Cartapiù (Italian: "Cardplus", "La7" The Seventh refers to a broadcast network) was an Italian digital terrestrial television channel broadcasting 7 channels on a pay-per-view basis.

It was owned by Telecom Italia Media, which also owns the La7 broadcast network. It was taken over by Dahlia TV in 2009.[1]

Like rival Mediaset's Mediaset Premium operation, it sent its signal via ordinary digital broadcast rather than cable television or satellite television. Like Mediaset it televised films, and Serie A football (10 teams in all). It also broadcast the 2008–09 Volvo Ocean Race.
