[Via Satellite 11-10-2016] Four additional U.S. cable operators are testing 4K content delivery across SES’s Ultra-HD platform, in advance of Ultra-HD subscriber trials set to begin later this year. Marquette-Adams in Wisconsin, Buckeye Broadband in Ohio and Southeast Michigan, Service Electric Cable TV in Pennsylvania, and enTouch Systems in Texas, now take the number to eight operators currently assessing the satellite-based Ultra-HD solution with SES aimed at accelerating 4K delivery to homes across America.

The first wave of trials kicked off this past summer with Cable America in Missouri, Golden West Telecommunications in South Dakota, MTC Cable in New York, and Sjoberg’s Cable TV in Minnesota.
