Eutelsat's 10A satellite, until recently one of the key satellites used by Eurovision to broadcast services over Europe, is close to the end of its operational life and has therefore entered inclined orbit. In order to replace this satellite, Eutelsat 10B was launched on 23 November 2022.
By mid-August 2023, Eurovision will establish a permanent multiplexer called HM6 (HyperMux 6) on Eutelsat 10B transponder EVS72, transmitted in NS4 modulation. Following the implementation of the multiplex, the new platform will be used to deliver major sporting events and a variety of other transmissions to Eurovision clients within the Eutelsat 10B footprint.
Test transmissions will be made available for booking online on this page.
