The Business of Multiscreen Television
The Czech/Slovak DTH platform Skylink is going from strength to strength and now has 800,000 active cardholders.
Parabola says that of these just under 600,00 are registered in the Czech Republic and over 200,000 in Slovakia. This means that Skylink has added 320,000 active cardholders in the past 12 months.
Skylink is a prepay service and the leading DTH platform in the Czech Republic. In Slovakia, it is still believed to be in second place behind Digi TV.
