Cable distribution

The ASTRA satellite system's pan-European coverage makes it ideal for transmitting content to cable systems across the continent. But that's not the only reason leading broadcasters are choosing ASTRA for cable distribution.

Other reasons include quality of programming neighbourhood, innovative strategies for adding value to the cable offering and expanding audience base, and ASTRA's dedication to customer service.

Pan-European coverage

ASTRA-delivered programming currently reaches more than 62 million cable households in Europe, providing broadcasters with extensive audience reach in key markets. Signals from ASTRA satellites are received by all cable systems in continental Europe, the U.K. and Ireland.

Dedicated cable feeds

Most broadcasters use ASTRA cable distribution services as a complement to DTH transmission. However, ASTRA also provides a service through which it can transmit dedicated feeds of channels exclusively to cable headends.
