Media Broadcast Satellite to uplink M7 Group’s channels on Eutelsat 9B

May 30, 2017 06.50 Europe/London By Jörn Krieger

German satellite services provider Media Broadcast Satellite will handle the uplink for all transponders used by European pay-TV operator M7 Group on Eutelsat 9B (9° East) from July 2017.

This was announced by Media Broadcast Satellite at ANGA COM 2017 in Cologne today. M7 uses Eutelsat 9B for the distribution of both local, thematic and international TV packages to cable and IPTV networks in the German-speaking markets. Through the 9° East position, M7 serves more than 140 network partners and over one million viewers in the German-speaking markets.

The uplink services are provided for a total of nine DVB-S2 transponders carrying over 90 TV channels in both HD and SD quality. The switchover will take place as part of a coordinated transition period in July 2017 ensuring 100% availability of all offers and services at any time. In addition to the comprehensive uplink services, Media Broadcast Satellite will also provide further infrastructure services at its teleport in Usingen.

With the takeover of the uplink services on Eutelsat 9B, Media Broadcast Satellite considerably expands its collaboration with M7. The Usingen-based service provider has already been handling uplink services for various M7 transponders on Astra (23.5° East) since July 2016. This satellite position is used for DTH channel distribution in the Benelux countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. These uplink services are also provided from Media Broadcast Satellite’s teleport in Usingen.

“For M7, the crucial factors for extending the business relationship were mainly the excellent 24/7/365 service as well as the high-quality standards at Teleport Usingen we have already been demonstrating since last year for uplink services for other M7 core markets,” said Christian Fleischhauer, Managing Director of Media Broadcast Satellite. “With the provision of uplink services for Eutelsat 9B, we will ensure the continued TV channel distribution to the German-speaking cable market and we are happy that M7 puts trust in the reliable service provisioning of Media Broadcast Satellite for this important market.”
