28.2°E

Reaching more than 10 million homes in the UK and Ireland


This orbital slot has one of the fastest growing audiences in Europe - adding 800,000 digital homes in 2007 alone - and ensures optimum performance with the 45cm Sky minidish.

It hosts the most popular programmes, and transmits nearly 500 television, radio and interactive channels to 10 million DTH homes and almost 4 million cable households.

We carry every major pay-TV and free-to-air broadcaster, including Sky, the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Five; and international channels such as Discovery, MTV and Eurosport.

Continuous growth

As well as the hugely successful Sky platform, 28.2°E hosts the recently-launched Freesat digital service - a BBC and ITV joint venture providing over 80 free TV, HD and radio channels.

We reach 50% of all UK homes and the analogue switch-off will generate further growth.
