Figures produced by the Portuguese regulator Anacom show that there were 1.897 million subscribers to cable or DTH services in the country at the end of Q2 this year. The total represented a quarterly increase of 0.9% and a year-on-year one of 6.5%. As of the end of Q2, cable or DTH services were received in 34.4% of all Portuguese homes, and of these over three quarters (76.5%) opted for cable rather than DTH. Although growth in the take-up of cable services was particularly pronounced in the Alentejo region in Q2, almost half of all cable subscribers (49.2%) were still found in the Lisbon area.
