Orange has started to advise its employees and distribution partners that its satellite package will no longer be offered to new customers as of April 8, 2021.
Those already receiving the Astra-delivered service will continue to receive the package. However, it is anticipated that this will be discontinued on the next few years.
The objective is to drive customers towards the company’s IPTV package.
Orange also maintained distribution at the Eutelsat Hotbird neighbourhood (13 degrees East) through to December 2016.
Other satellite options in France include TNT Sat and Canal+.
