ASTRA broadcast nearly 1,200 TV, radio and interactive channels to over 95 million homes in 35 countries across Continental Europe and North Africa.

ASTRA transmit to over 41 million DTH and SMATV homes, and more than 54 million cable households.

Your partner for HDTV
We are the fastest growing HD platform. Nearly 85% of the DTH homes are digital, and over 20% are equipped with HD-ready TVs. That is why ASTRA already transmit numerous HD channels from 19.2°E.

Continuous growth
All DTH consumers in ASTRA's footprint can use a low-cost set-top box, and thanks to the high-powered satellites, most of them only need a 60cm dish.

ASTRA are the DTH and SMATV market leader in several countries including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland.

ASTRA's Duo LNB provides more viewing and listening choice, by allowing simultaneous access to our 19.2° and 23.5°E satellites from a single dish.
