Pidzo: RRsat increases distribution to and from Africa

Content management and distribution services provider RRsat Global Communications Network has signed several contracts with TV and radio channels for distribution to and from Africa, via AMOS-5, the satellite launched in December 2011 by Spacecom.

RRsat's platforms on the AMOS-5 satellite feature two steerable Ku-band beams, Ku-1 and Ku-3, covering Africa with connectivity to Europe and the Middle East and supporting multiple transponders.

Lior Rival, VP sales and marketing of RRsat, said: "We see a growing demand for direct-to-home (DTH) solutions to Africa, which is a diverse and vibrant market for DTH providers, representing both a great opportunity and a great challenge for us. We are providing leading TV and radio channels with the opportunity to reach this continent with a huge population. RRsat has expanded its sales force for this region, and we see good opportunities for continuing growth."

BUGS12: George_D, all those inverto lnbs in kenya are imported. Even countries like UK and US, have a lot of fake chinese products too, even the ones cumin from the UK by odilibe might also be fake, you can never tell.

BUGS12: Odilibe, please dont get me wrong, i am only trying to prove a point.

odilibe: lol...@BUG12 you should be aware by now that a refund or return policy law,warranty,guarantee and quality control of goods etc works well in the uk. @BUGS12 i should get you right..lol,may be will should do further analysis of inverto lnbs from the united kingdom vs available or other lnbs in africa/kenya to see which lnbs performs better or fake through George_D...

@George_D, since BUGS12 is claiming an availability of fake inverto lnb in the uk .. may be a further test should be done to ascertain fake inverto lnbf(s) in the uk...i will now be ordering a 0.2db high performance and high gain offset lnb from inverto.tv,the inverto black ultra quad on my own part/expense, so be expecting inverto black ultra quad in the box..you know what i mean....

Pidzo: Chinese expand African TV investment fund

China’s Africa Development Fund and its China Development Bank are to extend its investment strategy into African digital TV.

Since 2007 around $100 million has already been directly invested, and the president of the fund, Chi Jianxin, says another $50 million has been earmarked for further investment. There could also be more given that the Bank says that it has $400 million on offer for suitable projects, which could be doubled.

The Fund claims that, to date, some 1.4 million people in 14 different African countries are viewing digital TV as a result of the Chinese involvement in the StarTimes-backed ventures. StarTimes claims 7 million pay-TV subscribers in China.

StarTimes transmits terrestrially using Eutelsat (at 10 degrees East) for its local distribution, and has activities in Kenya, Burundi, Nigeria, Tanzania, Central African Rep., and elsewhere.
