ORBIT: the Only Middle East platform to be recognised globally

Johnny Malek, Orbit's Vice President Marketing, said, "This once again reconfirms the market reality that Orbit is far and away the dominant market leader in the Middle East and North Africa, and is the only one satisfying the pre-requisites of a digital satellite TV DTH platform."

"We are always looking at new and innovative ways of improving services for our customers. Recently we launched our new digital decoder, the XD300, which takes our subscribers into the new world of interactive technology, reinforcing our mission to remain the most innovative broadcaster and provider of entertainment across the region."

Orbit works constantly to reassess, review and improve its channel line-up to satisfy customer tastes and demand, and to remain at the forefront of the Pay TV industry. The company is currently revising its channel line-up with the addition of a variety of new channels, including two new English movie channels, a documentary channel, two exciting new Arab channels, as well as sports, variety, children's and additional financial and news channels, such as the exclusive CNBC (US Feed) as well as Bloomberg in November. It is, of course, industry practice for the leading programme rights holders to seek partnerships with the dominant platform in each region.

While guaranteeing the latest in enhanced and interactive value-added features, Orbit will continue to expand its services to its subscribers across the region. Soon to arrive will be Pay Per View services, email, games and Internet via satellite through the new decoder that is currently being swapped free to Orbit subscribers.
