Exhibit 4 Letter from Independent Engineer Contractor for South Coast Television to Whom It May Concem Exhibit 4 Letter from Independent engineer contractor for South Coast Television To Whom It May Concem: The following is a description of the testing of the MDS International nsmission system perfonned on behalf of South Coast Television in Ireland. South Caaat TV (SCTV) stilrted to breadcnt test transmissions ca services In July 2000 using a HyperCable MDS transmitter on a ca GHz. The transmitter was sharing satellite spectrum used for programs f Astra 1H, Astra 2A (frequency 12.363 GHz), and Eutelsat Hot Bird3 at 13° east: 1· The Astra 2A DBS programs (12.363 GHz), which are sharing MDS transmitters frequency, are all English language programs and are sold all over I eland. The channel. on this transport stream are: 18+ Movies 1 18+ MoVies 2 Hallmark Entertainment National Geographic Channel +1 Nickelodeon Replay Sky Box Office 54 Sky Box Office 55 Sky Box OffICe 56 Sky Box Office 57 Sky Box OffICe 58 Sky Business Star Plus 2· The Astra 1H DBS programs using the frequency 12 363 were a ailable free to air in Ireland and could be received clear and free by Irish DBS viewers. These programs were: lV5 (French), RAI (Italian), OW (English/German speaking ews), RTM (morocco), TV7 [runisia), Egypt lV SUbsequent to..QlJl" teating, The Astra satellite £banged its program ing in. up on 1H and is now not broadcasting theM TV programs. They have been repla by the French Canal Digital Programs, which are not sold in Ireland. 3- Eutelsat DBS programs (12.341 GHz) which are also clo and adjacent to the MDS transmitter frequency, are: Tele'" 16/9, Sky News (clear), Canal D+, Palco info, D+ Mosaico, alco Technico, Vetrina+ promo lCleIlI) EntIrpl'tH ItcMt. ~ "elM. caJ'riMllM.

The test transmitter bpe ed over a period of 6 months up to mid January 2001 and no complaints of interferen into home satetlite receivers were reported. We observed around 200 nn:etve-test poit1tS a recMfed 95 spot measurements at distances from zero (base of the tower) out to 35/km. e nSVef observed any·interference to or from the aatelite signals during any of these !tests. We also conductedlsom specific "worst caae~ tests for Interference into Direct To Home (DTH) satellite receivers: A standard Sky Dig" I SOan antenna was aligned on the Astra satellite at 19.2° East on a heae;Jing 0 1470 ETN looking directly through the test transmitter tower. This is the wo~-ea line. The location was NW3km from the TX site. Interference from the MDS Hype bfe transmitter into the received satellite signals wal checked on th~ SnA/l~nlm analyser. No trace of th~ M HyperCable signal could be found on the spectrum anllyser and no disturb~nce 0 the satellite reception was obaerved. This test was Ibpea d directly under the transmission tower (35 meters high) and no meestlr'l!tbte . hee coafd be measured or Observed. - a. We h~ve ~8ver had ,8 complaint of interference from anybody receiving anv DBS Satellite Signals. IS was 80 even though thousands of Sky Digital DBS receivers are working in-the inity of the test transmittel'S. --_I- Exhibit 5 Map ofCountries Receiving Free Channels From Astra ASTRA - The Satellites - Coverage - ASTRA Coverage Page 1 of 1 COtHa<:tUs Searcl'l Site Mao l.anQ'uaqe '" MODE OF RECEPTION AND ASTRA COVERAGE 2001 Click on the map to see country-specific information.

  • Ka-Band Satellite Consumer Triple-Play and Professional Video Services
    Ka-Band Satellite Consumer Triple-Play and Professional Video Services Guillaume Benoit, Hector Fenech, Stefano Pezzana, and Alessia Tomatis Eutelsat, 70 rue Balard, 75015 Paris, France +33 1 53 98 47 47 {gbenoit,hfenech,spezzana,atomatis}@eutelsat.fr Abstract. This article presents Eutelsat European Ka-band implementation of the broadband ToowayTM service and its evolution through a dedicated Ka-band exclusive satellite (KA-SAT). It also explains Eutelsat’s choice in se- lecting the Ka-band for interactive services, broadcast video and IPTV ser- vices, demonstrating the optimal consumer service synergy between existing Ku-band and new Ka-band services. KA-SAT satellite is not focusing only on consumer triple-play services. In- deed, Eutelsat strategy consists in offering also professional video and data services in Ka-band (video distribution, video contribution, e-cinema, file transport) sharing the same transparent satellite bandwidth and the same ground segment infrastructure. For those professional video applications the last content processing (SVC) and satellite transport (DVB-S2 ACM) techniques are under deployment and this paper will present simulation results and link budgets estimations for a large number of future commercial applications. 1 Introduction Eutelsat operates 25 satellites in the geostationary arc from 15°W to 70.5°E offering a variety of services from corporate networks to broadcasting. The HOT BIRD™ con- stellation at 13°E constitutes the prime position for DTH (Direct to Home) and cable broadcasting, utilizing the full Ku-band spectrum from 10.70 GHz to 12.75 GHz. There are 102 transponders delivering about 1400 TV channels. The HOT BIRD™ service area reaches some 120 million satellite and cable households.

  • A Estratégia Digital Da Rádio Pública Portuguesa / from DAB Failure To
    Observatorio (OBS*) Journal, vol.7 - nº2 (2013), 161-181 1646-5954/ERC123483/2013 161 Do insucesso do DAB à expansão online: a estratégia digital da rádio pública portuguesa From DAB failure to internet expansion: the Portuguese public service radio's digital strategy Sílvio Correia Santos* *Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal Resumo Na década de 90, poucas dúvidas pareciam existir acerca do futuro da rádio na Europa. O Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) era apresentado como o standard que iria definir o futuro digital da rádio. Porém, em Portugal, tal como noutros países europeus, o DAB foi incapaz de cumprir as expectativas que se geraram à sua volta e acabou por ser preterido. A estratégia digital de muitas estações virou- se para a internet. Este artigo analisa o caso particular da rádio de Serviço Público (SP) em Portugal, para explicar o insucesso do DAB e a aposta na expansão online. Neste contexto, são explorados os principais argumentos em torno do mais provável cenário futuro da rádio: a convivência de plataformas, incluindo a transmissão analógica. No âmbito específico do SP, são ainda abordados os desafios particulares da transição para a era digital, particularmente, a legitimidade do desenvolvimento online e a inexistência de formas de avaliação do impacto dessa expansão no mercado. No domínio da produção, este artigo destaca uma mudança de paradigma que consiste na valorização atual do conteúdo radiofónico separado do fluxo tradicional da rádio. Palavras-chave: rádio, DAB, internet, serviço público, Portugal Abstract There were no doubts about the success of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) in the 90's. DAB seemed to be the obvious choice to replace the analogue broadcast in Europe.

  • Classification of Geosynchronous Objects Issue 12
    EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY EUROPEAN SPACE OPERATIONS CENTRE GROUND SYSTEMS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Space Debris Office CLASSIFICATION OF GEOSYNCHRONOUS OBJECTS ISSUE 12 by R. Choc and R. Jehn Produced with the DISCOS Database February 2010 ESOC Robert-Bosch-Str. 5, 64293 Darmstadt, Germany 3 Abstract This is a status report on geosynchronous objects as of the end of 2009. Based on orbital data in ESA’s DISCOS database and on orbital data provided by KIAM the situation near the geostationary ring (here defined as orbits with mean motion between 0.9 and 1.1 revolutions per day, eccentricity smaller than 0.2 and inclination below 30 deg) is analysed. From 1161 objects for which orbital data are available, 391 are controlled inside their longitude slots, 594 are drifting above, below or through GEO, 169 are in a libration orbit and 7 whose status could not be determined. Furthermore, there are 77 uncontrolled objects without orbital data (of which 66 have not been catalogued). Thus the total number of known objects in the geostationary region is 1238. During 2009 twenty-one spacecraft reached end-of-life. Eleven of them were reorbited following the IADC recommendations, one spacecraft was reorbited with a perigee of 225 km - it is not yet clear if it will enter the 200-km protected zone around GEO or not -, six spacecraft were reorbited too low and three spacecraft did not or could not make any reorbiting manouevre at all and are now librating inside the geostationary ring. If you detect any error or if you have any comment or question please contact R¨udiger Jehn European Space Operations Center Robert-Bosch-Str.

Resumo Este artigo visa identificar as características das televisões públicas de âm- bito internacional do Brasil (Brasil Internacional) e de Portugal (RTPi) por meio de uma análise comparativa norteada por três quesitos: objetivos dos veículos; modelos de gestão; modelos de financiamento. A partir do levan- tamento teórico e documental realizado e dos resultados da análise, pôde- -se constatar que o serviço público internacional de comunicação de Por- tugal é previsto via regras legais e contratuais, enquanto no Brasil não há dispositivos jurídicos que regulamentem a existência e a operação de uma televisão pública direcionada ao exterior, o que potencialmente fragiliza a execução desse serviço. Palavras-chave: televisão pública; televisão internacional; TV Brasil Internacional; RTPi. Abstract The aim of this article is to identify the characteristics of Brazil’s (Brasil Inter- nacional) and Portugal’s (RTPi) public televisions with international reach by means of a comparative analysis based on three aspects: objectives of the channels; management models; funding models.

  • Global Pay TV Fragments
    Global pay TV fragments The top 503 pay TV operators will reach 853 million subscribers from the 1.02 billion global total by 2026. The top 50 operators accounted for 64% of the world’s pay TV subscribers by end-2020, with this proportion dropping to 62% by 2026. Pay TV subscribers by operator ranking (million) 1200 1000 143 165 38 45 800 74 80 102 102 600 224 215 400 200 423 412 0 2020 2026 Top 10 11-50 51-100 101-200 201+ Excluded from report The top 50 will lose 20 million subscribers over the next five years. However, operators beyond the top 100 will gain subscribers over the same period. Simon Murray, Principal Analyst at Digital TV Research, said: “Most industries consolidate as they mature. The pay TV sector is doing the opposite – fragmenting. Most of the subscriber growth will take place in developing countries where operators are not controlled by larger corporations.” By end-2020, 13 operators had more than 10 million pay TV subscribers. China and India will continue to dominate the top pay TV operator rankings, partly as their subscriber bases climb but also due to the US operators losing subscribers. Between 2020 and 2026, 307 of the 503 operators (61%) will gain subscribers, with 13 showing no change and 183 losing subscribers (36%). In 2020, 28 pay TV operators earned more than $1 billion in revenues, but this will drop to 24 operators by 2026. The Global Pay TV Operator Forecasts report covers 503 operators with 726 platforms [132 digital cable, 116 analog cable, 279 satellite, 142 IPTV and 57 DTT] across 135 countries.
