TV Vlaanderen is adigitalsatellite television andterrestrial television service provider for theFlanders region and community inBelgium.
TV Vlaanderen's customers are mostly people living inFlanders. However, as TV Vlaanderen is officially available to the whole of Belgium, TV Vlaanderen also has many Flemish customers living in the French-speaking part of Belgium due to the unavailability of Dutch-language TV channels oncable television platforms inWallonia.
Like theDutch satellite television providerCanalDigitaal, TV Vlaanderen is owned byM7 Group (Canal+ Luxembourg S.a.r.l). M7 Group since September 2019 is part of French-basedGroupe Canal+, which was a subsidiary ofVivendi until its spin-off in December 2024.
Originally, TV Vlaanderen only offered aDVB-S2 satellite television service, using theSES Astra satellites atAstra 19.2°E and atAstra 23.5°E.
In 2017, it started aDVB-T2 terrestrial service branded "Antenne TV", which uses theNorkring transmitter network.[1][2][3] Antenne TV was shut down on 1 September 2024.[4][5]
The Flemish public and commercial broadcasts are not freely available via satellite. To receive the Flemish broadcasts, aSmartcard is required to decipher theMediaguard signal.
A standardDVB-S2 receiver is used, which can also receivefree-to-air broadcasts.
