The European Commission announced that Inmarsat Ventures and Solaris Mobile were chosen to provide mobile satellite services (MSS) across Europe in the S-Band.

Eutelsat Communications reported revenues for the third quarter ending 31 March 2009 and announced satellite redeployment plans.

The battle amid the satellite TV providers and cable TV providers seems to be never ending. Both maintain their individual status in the market. Read this article to find out about certain misconceptions and satellite TV.

At one time, television consisted of programming that reached only people with a television aerial. People saw the name national television programming provided by national networks, which meant there was little variety. Today, all that has changed and in a big way thanks to satellite TV, and the new opportunities of exclusive programming.

When it comes to excellent satellite television programming, one channel specifically comes to mind: Showtime. You can count on Showtime to offer great original series, compelling documentaries and a wide selection of movies that everyone is bound to enjoy. Showtime is often top bill at the Daytime Emmys, which is unsurprising given its lineup of popular programming. Besides Hollywood hits and unique motion pictures, the channel is home to a collection of off-beat, intelligent shows that make you squirm in anticipation. Subscribers can get the whole package subscribing to Showtime Unlimited. This deal features nine channels with six of them in HD.

Are you tired of watching the same thing again and again because even the cable is full of reruns? Exclusive programming is something satellite offers, but not the cable company. Are you tired of missing the football game, or the races? If you think that you are missing something with your current programming, you may be.

Even with the development of new technology and service over the past few years, the means of a person getting satellite television boils down to one of two options. Today, consumers can look at going with digital cable television, which is a relatively new offering by cable companies in trying to salvage customers or satellite television, which is by far a superior choice and for a number of reasons.

There was a time long ago when the only choice with television was whether or not you had one. Then the choice of color came along, followed at little later by the satellite dish, and cable. Those that could get it chose cable because it wasn’t as obvious to everyone driving by. The first satellite dishes were large and bulky; the programming options were less than ideal as well.
