Our local support teams continually strive to expand our audiences in key and emerging markets, and we can help you explore a range of revenue-enhancing strategies.

As a complete network provider, we can send your live transmissions, raw footage and finished content from any location to any point in our pan-European footprint; and we also offer intercontinental contribution via other satellites in the SES family.
HDTV
We are Europe’s leading HD platform and have been at the forefront of the HDTV rollout - from broadcasting Europe’s first HD channel in 2004 to championing the drive for quality standards for HD consumer equipment.
3DTV
3DTV brings a new dimension to the television viewing experience. ASTRA already broadcasts 3D football and will have more 3DTV channels by the end of 2010.
