SES ASTRA has an agreement for an additional transponder on its new prime orbital position—23.5° E—for the Czech Pay-TV platform CS Link. The new capacity is to be used by CS Link to broadcast an enhanced program package. CS Link is the largest pay-TV platform in the Czech Republic with 400,000 customers, and transmits a total of 25 TV and 11 radio programs. With the new agreement, CS Link will use three transponders on the ASTRA Satellite system. SES ASTRA is successfully developing its 23.5°E orbital position into a new location for DTH. Two ASTRA satellites, ASTRA 3A and ASTRA 1E, occupy this position and currently serve Central Europe, the Benelux countries, and German cable networks, as well as offering the high-speed broadband service ASTRA2Connect—Betzdorf, Luxembourg
