"Chalfont Grove is currently home to a 36-dish teleport that beams content to the Astra 2B, Astra 4A and NSS806 satellites in addition to feeding content to other Arqiva teleports for uplinking. The site provides more than 400 services, 19 major uplinks, and three studios. The facility has also recently added a new playout suite to its existing Playout Centre which currently transmits 46 playout services for national and international distribution. This combination of resources, all just 40 minutes from central London, has made Chalfont Grove an increasingly attractive proposition for both channels and major international broadcasters alike.
Chalfont Grove also provides a wide range of datacomms services to the oil, telecoms, and maritime industries, as well as UK and international government agencies. Service management is provided by a dedicated MCR plus a Customer Care Centre for the management of business TV and radio networks in the UK and Europe. A recent addition to the products delivered from Chalfont Grove is the fully managed distribution of films to UK and European cinemas via Arqiva’s Digital Cinema distribution network. The films are presented as electronic files to Arqiva by film distributors and are beamed simultaneously to multiple cinemas, via Arqiva supplied and managed equipment at each cinema, to be viewed by the public."
Didn't realise they don't send cans of film to cinemas any more.
