Eutelsat Hybrid TV Services Using HbbTV Standard go Live in Germany

'KabelKiosk choice' now combining linear TV with web-based content for cable homes

PARIS, March 29, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    The blending of traditional TV channels with Internet content is now possible for
cable homes in Germany using the 'KabelKiosk choice' service based on the HbbTV standard
developed by the German subsidiary of Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL).

    With 'KabelKiosk choice', Eutelsat's KabelKiosk platform is evolving beyond its first
phase as a programme delivery solution for independent cable operators. The launch of an
interactive portal is fully in step with how viewers are progressively enhancing linear
channels with on-demand information. For broadcasters, network operators and content
providers it offers new opportunities to extend the reach of linear and non-linear
content, and to generate new revenues.

    Services available through 'KabelKiosk choice' include VOD, catch-up TV, access to
news portals and local information. Users access this portfolio of interactive solutions
via set-top boxes or a connected TV supporting HbbTV. An extension to tablets and
smartphones is being developed to expand services to mobile devices.

    Eutelsat is accelerating user access to HbbTV services with 'KabelKiosk choice' by
removing the requirement for operators to make significant investments in their own
service platforms and infrastructure. the service works as a white label to enable
operators to provide and market the portal under their own brand. They can also create
their own sites with local news, RSS feeds, clips and promotions. Using an integrated
Content Management System, operators can also easily update content and applications.

    For Marc Welinski, Marketing Director at Eutelsat: "Europe that sits at the heart of
Eutelsat's footprintis forecast to become the worldwide centre of excellence for long-term
development of hybrid TV services. Our ambition, as a longstanding partner of linear TV
broadcasters, is to remain ahead of the curve on how to bolt web-based services onto
traditional TV. The 'KabelKiosk choice' service in Germany is just the beginning of a new
generation of hybrid solutions that we plan to develop to support our clients -
broadcasters, content providers and network operators - and their relationship with
viewers."
