The Czech pre-pay platform CS Link reported to have 400,000 active smart cards, or double the number only three months ago. As a result, it is now the most watched DTH service in the country, ahead of both UPC Direct and Digi TV. CS Link, which was formerly known as Czech Link, is backed by Media Vision and distributed by Astra at 23.5 degrees East. It has a sister operation in Slovakia named SkyLink.
