Multichoice secures additional satellite capacity

MultiChoice recently signed a long-term, multi-transponder agreement for additional satellite capacity.

Does that mean more channels?

so how much are they gonna raise their prices by next month???

I'm guessing, this will add support for an alternative h264 format and could coexist with the current mpeg2 infrastructure. So that by 20<thumb_suck_nr> they can say ok guys your existing mpeg2 decoders are outdated we will give you X amount of time to move over to the new hardware decoders that can work with the new h264 format.

I find it extremely, ironic how this company that is protected from all the other broadcast "requirements" that E-TV and SABC are subjected to, also has the privileged of being allowed to charge their viewers whatever they wish for premium content.

It will just replace intelsat 7/10 at 68.5,it's not an extra sat like the article make it sound.

 

[ZAP_Tech]

Its a better sat, the article doesnt make it sound like a new sat if you read it carefully.
