SES S.A. and Vivicast Media unveiled UHD-1, a new Ultra HD channel for North American cable operators, telco's and their audiences. UHD-1 will be delivered over the SES-3 satellite, one of three satellites (SES-1, SES-3 and AMC-18) that make up SES's Ultra HD distribution neighbourhood at the centre of the orbital arc over North America. Vivicast Media continues to add new Ultra HD content and titles to the rich program line-up of feature films, television series, exclusive concerts and documentaries for viewers in America and beyond.

This is the fourth unique Ultra HD channel to be featured on SES's Ultra HD platform, which is accelerating the delivery of linear live Ultra HD programming to North American homes served by multiple video program distributors (MVPDs). In addition to UHD-1, SES's Ultra HD neighbourhood also features NASA TV UHD, Fashion One 4K and High 4K TV. UHD-1 is the eighth unique Ultra HD channel delivered to cable, telco and DTH audiences across SES's global satellite fleet.
