Dramatically increased signal stability even in the worst storm

Sirius and Pro TV S.A. announced today the signing of a new contract that would ensure much better reception for the channels of the Pro TV S.A. portfolio: ProTV, Acasa TV, ProCinema and ProTV International.

tarting 14th of November, for viewers in both cable and satellite networks this agreement will bring highest stability of signal available on the market, even under the worst weather conditions.

The Sirius satellite provides exceptional quality of the reception signal, due to one of the strongest signals (EIRP) from the onboard satellite transmitters, combined with an Automatic Level Control (ALC) system, which can offset the attenuation produced by bad weather conditions and ensure a constant level of signal in the area covered.
