Important Dish TV to gain as SES-8 satellite becomes operational

[IndianMascot]

Paris-based satellite communications company SES has said that the SES-8 satellite has been successfully co-positioned with SES’s NSS-6 satellite at the orbital location of 95 degrees east and is now fully operational to serve the thriving markets in the Asia-Pacific region.

The successful co-positioning of SES-8 will benefit Dish TV which will soon be able to increase its capacity. As of now, Dish TV has nine transponders on NSS-6, each able to host about 15 channels. It is immediately looking at adding another transponder.

In a recent interview, Dish TV CEO RC Venkateish had told that the company would add five transponders from SES to beef up its existing capacity. “We have got one transponder already allocated and this should cost us about $1.3 million as rental outgo per year,” he had said.

Dish TV already has a long-term contract for additional transponders on Asiasat, which it had signed in 2010.
