HOT BIRD™ 9 :: 13° EAST

Built by EADS-Astrium, HOT BIRD™ 9 joins Eutelsat's 13 degrees East neighbourhood, serving Europe, North Africa and the Middle-East. This flagship position broadcasts over 1 100 television channels to over 120 million homes and is the Europe's prime orbital location in terms of channels broadcast.

HOT BIRD™ 9 helps further advance the development of digital and high-definition TV. As is the case of all Eutelsat's broadcasting satellites, viewers can watch the HOT BIRD™ 9 TV channels via a simple receive-only dish. The satellite also delivers channels to cable and DTT networks, and the add-on TV coverage needed for triple-play offers.
