Viasat (Nordic television service)
Viasat is a satellite and pay television brand, founded in Sweden in 1991. The brand has previously been owned by Modern Times Group (MTG). The channels of both companies were broadcast from London.
In 2018, MTG sourced out the television/streaming division, forming three companies: Viaplay Group (serving Nordic countries), Viasat World (Europe and Ukraine) and Viasat Russia (Russia and CIS).
In 2020, Viaplay Group formed a joint venture with Canal Digital to form the company Allente, that offers satellite television services in the Nordic countries. The merger was completed on April 13, 2021.
The Viasat signals was received from the Astra 4A and SES-5 satellites at 4.8°E with any DVB-S receiver equipped with a NDS VideoGuard descrambling module.
Viasat (now Viaplay) does not operate own platform outside the Nordic and Baltic countries. So they have to rely on third party distributors in Eastern and Central Europe.[citation needed]
In May 2016, MTG announced the launch of Viasat Ultra HD, the first ultra-high-definition television (UHD) channel in the Nordic region and its first UHD Sports channel. The channel will feature selected live sport events especially produced in Ultra HD and launch in the autumn in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland via SES-5. Viasat will also be launching an Ultra HD set-top box from Samsung and a TV-module to enable existing UHD TVs to display the channel.
The Nordic operations are owned by Viaplay Group (Viasat brand is no longer used in the Nordic countries)
V Film and V Series channels are common for the four Nordic markets.
