[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1158385, member: 176362"] To be honest I doubt the satellittes will be replaced. There hasnt been any news on any replacements. One may be kept in service using a MEV spacetug as the satellite service winds down and if enough long term contracts are signed its possible one new satellite could be put into service but there certainly wont be 3 new satellites for 28E. The shareholders in SES will never sanction multi million pound replacements that could not possibly earn the vast build launch & operational fees that modern satellites require. Sadly the futture is IPTV & we are in the golden age of tv delivery via satellite. Make the most of our hobby as its now an endangered species - the satellite tv landscape will look vastly different in 20 years time with far fewer tv satellites & orbital slots in use.. [/QUOTE]
