Serbia Broadband (SBB) has expanded the Company's Total TV platform with new multi-year contracts with Eutelsat Communications for two transponders at its 16 degrees video neighborhood.
SBB and Eutelsat have also agreed to a long-term extension of contracts for the two transponders that have been in use since 2006 to broadcast Total TV from Eutelsat's specialist video neighborhood for central European digital TV markets. The boost to digital broadcasting in central Europe has been made possible by Eutelsat's decision to significantly increase capacity at 16 degrees East. In addition to the W2 satellite, 16 degrees East now hosts the EUROBIRD 16 satellite which was redeployed from 7 degrees West. Both satellites at 16 degrees East offer high-power coverage of Europe, enabling DTH reception with small antennas. Both satellites are also equipped with steerable beams which are oriented to serve video clients operating in Indian Ocean islands. SBB's additional capacity will be used to support a number of new channels in all of Total TV's markets, including Cinemax 2, MGM, Discovery ID, Disney and two new channels from Pink Media Company. It will also support expansion to additional regional markets including Macedonia, as well as further improve signal quality. Channels are uplinked from the company's own teleport in Belgrade and the new teleport facility operated by STN near the Slovenian capital, Ljubljana.
