What is "canaldigitaal"

CanalDigitaal is a provider of digital television via satellite for the Dutch market, using the Astra satellites at 19.2° east and the Astra 3B satellite at 23.5° east.

Initially customers were mainly Dutch citizens who did not have cable access. But in the meantime the company also managed to expand into the cities. This is sometimes complicated in the Netherlands due to local building codes restricting the placement of satellite dishes.

CanalDigitaal is owned by the Luxembourgian M7 Group S.A., also owner of the Belgian TV Vlaanderen Digitaal and TéléSAT Numérique, the Austrian Austriasat, the Czechian/ Slovakian Skylink and CS Link.
