Free-to-air Dutch-language channel is broadcast via ASTRA 19.2 degrees East, SES-5 and other satellites
Luxembourg, 7 April 2020 - Public broadcaster BVN TV has signed a long-term worldwide distribution agreement with SES for the use of its satellite capacity and services. SES is delivering BVN TV via the company's premium neighbourhood at ASTRA 19.2 degrees East across Europe and on the SES-5 satellite at 5 degrees East across Africa. In order to ensure seamless global distribution of BVN's content from a single signal source, SES is also leveraging non-SES satellite capacity as appropriate.
BVN (Stichting Beste van Vlaanderen en Nederland) is a public free-to-air channel that provides Dutch-speaking viewers around the world with TV programming in their native language.
Access to BVN TV through ASTRA 19.2 degrees East was made available from 1 April 2020 via the frequency 11.778 V, SR 29500, FEC 9/10 (SVB-S2 - QPSK) in H.264 (MPEG4). This requires a manual transponder search with the new reception data.
