Babeleye and Eutelsat have extended their successful partnership, further strengthening Babeleye’s position as the primary metadata provider for Eutelsat’s free-to-air satellite television service, Sat.tv, across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
This expanded collaboration marks a significant advancement in content accessibility. Babeleye’s metadata is now delivered in both DVB-I and HbbTV formats, ensuring seamless compatibility with the Connected TV version of Sat.tv. This means improved content discovery for viewers using smart TVs and hybrid devices, in addition to traditional satellite receivers.
“We are honoured that Eutelsat continues to place its trust in Babeleye,” said Hamid Ouddane, CEO of Babeleye. “Our mission has always been to simplify access to quality content across diverse markets. With the integration of DVB-I and HbbTV and our expanding metadata capabilities, we’re taking a major step forward in helping Eutelsat make Sat.tv more accessible, flexible, and user-centric.”
Jean Luc Deroudilhe, SVP Advanced TV Services at Eutelsat, commented, “Babeleye’s flexibility and technological innovation have allowed us to deliver a consistent, high-quality experience to millions of Sat.tv users. Their support is central to our roadmap for expanding digital TV access across our regions.”
