MUMBAI: TVB Pay Vision Ltd. has renewed the service of three transponders on the NSS-11 satellite with SES World Skies to provide pay TV services targeting the Hong Kong market.
TVB Pay Vision utilises the NSS-11 satellite to target the Hong Kong pay TV market via two options: Delivery to SMATV headends in high density estates, for further delivery to individual units using coaxial cable; and Direct-to-Home delivery into standalone dishes.
TVB Pay Vision offers local and international channels, including its highly attractive TVB family channels, along with four premium channels.
In 2011, TVB Pay Vision plans to upgrade its channel offering to include several HD channels. Furthermore, TVB Pay Vision plans to introduce an MPEG-4, HDTV, hybrid satellite/DTT set-top box that would allow transparent viewing of local digital channels as well as pay-TV channels.
SES World Skies VP, sales, Asia-Pacific Elias Zaccack said, "TVB Pay Vision is an important part of our continuing efforts to develop our dual orbital slots of 95 degrees East and 108.2 degrees East into a high value neighbourhood for Asian TV consumers. Our investment in a second satellite at 108.2 degrees East, namely SES-7, and our recently announced investment in a second satellite at 95 degrees East, namely SES-8, highlight the serious and significant commitment level that SES is making to the Asian market."
