[Via Satellite 09-11-2015] High TV has debuted a 24/7 multi-genre linear Ultra-HD cable TV channel through the SES 3 satellite. The new Ultra-HD network is called High 4K TV and features a broad range of content from Ultra-HD movies and television shows to sports and documentaries.

“The new channel, with its breadth of programming, is another key step in helping cable operators through North America accelerate the delivery of linear live Ultra-HD content to subscriber homes across the U.S.,” said Steve Corda, vice president of business development for SES in North America.

SES has three satellites — SES 1, SES 3 and AMC 18 — that comprise its Ultra-HD neighborhood over North America. The trio of satellites reaches more than 100 million U.S. television homes through virtually every cable TV, IPTV and Direct-to-Home (DTH) provider across the region.

“We look forward to expanding the delivery of High 4K TV programming to other regions around the world,” said Justin Borrelo, head of business development at High TV.
