Leading broadcasters have long trusted us to deliver their content where and when they need it. So much so that we now reach over 274 million homes across Europe, Middle East and Africa at 20 key video neighbourhoods.

Over 6500 TV channels, 2200 HDTV channels and 1100 radio stations now broadcast via the extensive capacity of our 35 satellites, both to homes equipped for DTH reception and to those connected via cable, IP and DTT networks.

The Eutelsat service doesn’t begin and end with the satellites themselves though. Our control centres operate 24/7 to ensure a high-quality, reliable service around the clock. And with in-depth TV market expertise in 109 countries, our dedicated marketing support team will help you gain market share and new audiences.

Image quality is increasingly important to audiences as we are seeing in the acceleration in take-up of HD and now Ultra HD (UHD).

Euroconsult forecasts that the share of HD channels worldwide will increase from 23% in 2016 to 46% in 2026. According to Screen Digest, more than 103 million homes in Europe are equipped with HD-Ready displays, making HD available in over 60% of households.

The future is also fast becoming a reality for millions as the broadcast industry adapts to Ultra HD TV, the new benchmark for broadcasting, with demand for UHD growing. According to Euroconsult, over 75 million 4K TVs were shipped in 2017.

Satellites are a natural platform for broadcasting Ultra HD content. Their bandwidth availability and wide coverage areas enables viewers to receive the same quality signal wherever they are located within the satellite coverage.

FTA viewing offers incredible value for both viewers and broadcasters; however, the user experience can be vastly improved, and broadcasters need additional tools to engage with them. Sat.tv enables FTA broadcasters to maximise their reach while increasing their ability to target specific viewers. For audiences, it offers the best Free-to-Air user experience, with the broadest content visibility, and is now available on low-cost satellite receivers, extending accessibility.
