EUROBIRD™ 9A :: 9° EAST
EUROBIRD™ 9A has been deployed to 9 degrees East. Formerly HOT BIRD™ 7A, the rebranded satellite is joining Eutelsat's newest video neighbourhood, almost doubling the number of operational transponders. Adjacent to Eutelsat’s premium HOT BIRD™ position, reception of channels from both locations is possible with off-the-shelf dual-feed domestic dishes.
Optimised for DTH (Direct-to-Home) broadcasting, EUROBIRD™ 9A delivers 38 fully operational Ku-band transponders supplying coverage across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
At the beginning of 2009 there were nearly 180 channels broadcasting from 9° East, with nearly 20 in high definition. Broadcasters are attracted to the cost-effective rates and the possibility to reach the HOT BIRD™ satellites at 13° East, the premium European broadcast neighbourhood, with a simple ClipSat™ installation.
