tivùsat is a free-to-air/ free-to-view digital satellite television platform, launched by the joint venture tivù s.r.l. between RAI, Mediaset and Telecom Italia Media, [1] and serving Italy, Vatican City and San Marino. With the exception of international news services carried in English, services are provided in Italian.
The service has been marketed since 31 July 2009 and offers a satellite alternative for many of those unable to receive the digital terrestrial television in Italy. Tivù Sat comprises free-to-air and free-to-view channels available on national television networks, and can be watched using a subscription card for Italian users purchasing a compatible receiver with Nagravision scrambling system. It uses Eutelsat's Hot Bird satellites at 13 degrees east.
