TV Broadcasting
DID YOU KNOW?
Today, more than 77 million European homes watch television programmes transmitted by satellites, either by direct reception or reception via cable head ends and onward distribution through cable systems.
Satellites are the largest, most advanced and most important supplier of capacity for distribution of digital, HD programming, 3D and more, including feeding cable head-ends.
Of the 77 million households in Europe currently choosing satellite TV Broadcast services, 92 percent or 71 million households receive digital services compared with cable, where 34 percent or 24 million people receive digital services.
Satellite TV Broadcast services have been a key driver behind EU objectives such as digital switchover and more efficient use of spectrum, as well as enabling transmission of a portfolio of diverse cultural content all over the EU territory (and the globe).
