Eins Plus
ARD 1 Plus was a German cultural television channel, which was broadcast as an offshoot of Das Erste from 29 March 1986 to 30 November 1993. The program scheme was similar to Arte, except for bilingualism. 1 Plus also served as the test channel for European HDTV development HD-MAC, which made good progress until the live broadcast of the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, but was then unable to receive European funding under pressure from the United Kingdom government. For cost reasons and the broadcaster's impending inclusion as a cooperative member for the existing cultural channel 3sat at that time, ARD decided to close 1 Plus on November 30, 1993. The responsibility for the management of 1 Plus was ARD-internally at the then Südwestfunk in Baden-Baden. 1 Plus was broadcast terrestrially via cable and satellite, as well in Saarland (Saarbrücken) and in Bremen via antenna. 1 Plus was received via satellite via Astra 1B, DFS Kopernikus and in D2-MAC via TV-SAT 2 until the ch ...

Astra 1B
Astra 1B was the second of the Astra communications satellites launched and operated by SES (Société Européenne des Satellites) to add extra capacity to the satellite television (direct broadcasting) services from 19.2° East, serving Germany, the United Kingdom and Ireland. Satcom K3 SES bought the satellite in 1989 from failed direct broadcast satellite (DBS) company Crimson Satellite Associates while still under construction by GE Astro Space (as Satcom K3). Twelve years later, in 2001, SES acquired GE Americom, which originally was to operate the Satcom K3 satellite (and was itself the result of General Electric's purchase of RCA Corporation in 1986) and renamed it "SES Americom". It was merged with SES New Skies to form SES World Skies before the company was merged into its parent company, SES S.A. in 2011. Mission On 4 June 1991, Astra 1B suffered an attitude control failure, causing minor drift in north–south direction, meaning that it became difficult to obt ...

SES Astra
SES Astra SA was a corporate subsidiary of SES, based in Betzdorf, in eastern Luxembourg, that maintained and operated the Astra series of geostationary communication satellites between 2001 and 2011. Formed in 1985 as Société Européenne des Satellites (SES), it was Europe's first private satellite operator.

D2-MAC
D2-MAC is a satellite television transmission standard, a member of Multiplexed Analogue Components family. It was created to solve D-MAC's bandwidth problem on European cable systems. * D2-MAC uses half the data rate of D-MAC * D2-MAC has a reduced vision bandwidth, about 1/2 that of D-MAC. * D2-MAC retains most of the quality of a D-MAC signal—but consumes only 5 MHz of bandwidth. Technical details MAC transmits luminance and chrominance data separately in time rather than separately in frequency (as other analog television formats do, such as composite video). Audio and Scrambling (selective access) * Audio, in a format similar to NICAM was transmitted digitally rather than as an FM sub-carrier. * The MAC standard included a standard scrambling system, EuroCrypt, a precursor to the standard DVB-CSA encryption system. History and politics MAC was developed by the UK's Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) and in 1982 was adopted as the transmission format for the ...
