Former satellite television service / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the brand name used for a group of satellites, see Astra (satellite). For the company also formerly known as Astra, see SES Astra.
AstraSat was the South African Broadcasting Corporation's satellite television service that existed between 1996 and 1998. AstraSat carried SABC's three terrestrial television networks and two additional free-to-air channels that were aimed at becoming subscription channels. Numerous factors including the reliance on analogue instead of digital led to its closure in February 1998.
