Since the start of transmissions of Euro 1080 on Eutelsat’s satellites in 2005 HDTV has taken great strides, with channels increasing tenfold since mid-2006 and more than doubling since June 2008. A total of 42% of the 243 HD satellite channel streams in Europe and the Middle East are broadcast through a Eutelsat satellite, establishing the company’s video neighbourhoods as a coveted address in this rapidly-developing video market.
Eutelsat’s premium video neighbourhoods, led by the HOT BIRD™ position, today account for 40% of HD channels broadcast by the Group’s satellites. Emerging Eutelsat video positions with headroom for growth are following close behind, notably EUROBIRD™ 9A, which already hosts two all-HD platforms, and video positions serving broadcast markets in Russia, Turkey and central Europe.
The accelerating pace of HDTV launches across Europe and the Middle East reflects the increasing penetration in consumer homes of HD-Ready displays, which are estimated by Screen Digest to have reached 70 million. The consumer appetite for HD is also underscored by Eutelsat’s own analysis, conducted in 37 countries across the same regions by industry-leading market research firms (GfK, TNS, CSA), and which shows that over 10 million households intend to move into an HD environment over the next year.
