Abstract
The breakthrough of digital technologies into the TV domain achieved through the work of MPEG2, on an international scale, and the DVB, on a European scale, had been fully anticipated by EUTELSAT. The Organization was therefore in a position to actively participate in the elaboration of the DVB-S specification and adopt approaches which are adapted to the particularities of the EUTELSAT space segment and allow for an early and smooth introduction of digital TV services. In the field of HDTV, EUTELSAT, by means of the FLASH-TV project, has promoted the development of the first fully operational digital HDTV contribution system
