TV5 Monde Astra

TV5 Monde already broadcasts only in high definition on Astra

The French-speaking channel TV5 Monde already broadcasts only in high definition through the orbital position of 19.2º East of the Astra satellites.

With this, it abandons the SD standard to go to HD at the same frequencies as for which it was broadcasting in standard definition until now, so it is possible that no retuning is necessary in the receivers.

The move to high definition affects both TV5 Monde Europe and TV5 Monde FBS, the version for France, Belgium and Switzerland of the same television channel.

Created in 1984, TV5 was renamed in several versions and several names in January 2006, one of them with a specific version for France, Belgium and Switzerland.

Broadcast from Paris in 202 countries through 7 beams from different satellites (Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the United States), to which is added the signal from Quebec (Canada) broadcast from Montreal, the chain is a benchmark all over the world.
