Hi, we saw the recent activity on the site and would like to give you feedback. We highly appreciate your large interest in our satellites and the channels distributed via ASTRA. Your engagement on this site is great. Of course we would like everyone to receive as many programs as possible out of the really huge number we broadcast. We expand our services and our satellite fleet, we invest into new regions that we cover like Africa or the Middle East. But the geographic reach of each service, the region in which it can be received, is not our decision but the decision of our customers. When a TV channel has bought program rights for Europe only, it cannot send in North America, for example. We can manage the reach through using certain satellites or beams and through encrypting signals and making boxes available only in certain markets. As a service company for our customers, we cannot just spread signals beyond, even if we would receive thousand petitions. ;-) These are business decisions of the broadcasters who use our services.
