SES Astra has signed an agreement for an additional transponder on its new prime orbital position - 23.5 degrees East - for the Czech Pay-TV platform CS Link. The new capacity is to be used by CS Link to broadcast an enhanced programme package. CS Link is the largest pay-TV platform in the Czech Republic with 400,000 customers, and transmits in total 25 TV and 11 radio programmes. With the new agreement, CS Link will use three transponders on the Astra Satellite system. SES Astra is successfully developing its 23.5 degrees East orbital position into a new location for Direct-to-Home (DTH). Two Astra satellites, Astra 3A and Astra 1E, occupy this position and currently serve Central Europe, the Benelux countries and German cable networks, as well as offering the high-speed broadband service Astra2Connect. Benelux, the Czech Republic and Slovakia have generated strong demand on 23.5 degrees East in 2007, increasing the reach of these satellites to 700,000 DTH households and another 1.7 million households receiving their signal through cable head-ends in these regions. “Our 23.5 degrees East orbital position has already become a top slot for Benelux and Central European broadcasters, and we intend to develop this new hot spot in other markets as well,” says Alexander Oudendijk, Chief Commercial Officer of SES Astra. “By using a simple technical device, the Duo LNB, satellite households can significantly increase their choice of international free-to-air channels, and receive signals from two Astra positions, 19.2 degrees East and 23.5 degrees East. The agreement with CS Link represents a further strengthening of Astra’s position in the Central and Eastern European markets.” (Source: SES Astra)
