� Change of encoder bitrate to overcome long over loads

Hybrid Satellite and Internet distribution

Public internetPublic

internet

Satellite is still the most efficient way to distribute content to large population of receivers

IP / Internet is getting more popularity and will be used for:

– Backup of content

– Distribution of niche channels for small number of affiliates

– To enable localization of content
