The service will initially broadcast more than 60 television channels via the ABS 2, ABS 2A and ABS 6 satellites in both Ku- and C-band.<\/p>\n<p>The FreeViewSat model aims to promote maximum distribution and the cost of the STB and dish. Customers will only need to make a one-time purchase to enjoy all the TV channels on the platform with no monthly recurring subscription fees, according to ABS.<\/p>\n<p>At launch in January, FreeViewSat will carry at least 30 local free-to-air channels and more than&nbsp;30 international channels. The number of channels will continue to grow to more than 100 in the first six to 12 months as new content is added.<\/p>\n<p>FreeViewSat will be available via 75cm Ku band dishes from 75E on ABS 2 and ABS 2A, and via&nbsp;1.6m C-band antennas from 156E on ABS 6 simultaneously, so that consumers have the choice of small dishes, or larger ones with better rain protection. ABS has selected the <strong>ABV<\/strong> conditional access and middleware system, along with <strong>Ali<\/strong> chips for its&nbsp;set-top boxes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABS and SMV are teaming up to deliver free satellite TV to Indonesia.
