TéléSAT Numérique, commonly known as TéléSAT, is a Belgian satellite subscription television company aimed at the French-speaking community, also offering a triple play solution (satellite television, Internet, and landline telephone). It is available to residents in Belgium or Luxembourg.
Its parent company is the M7 Group S.A. which is also the parent company of Canal Digitaal in the Netherlands, TV Vlaanderen also in Belgium but aimed at the Flemish speaking community, Austriasat in Austria, AustriaSat Magyarország in Hungary, CS Link in the Czech Republic and Skylink in Slovakia
In 2010 the operator added the possibility to add a selection of Flemish stations to a client's subscription by adding the option "Espace TV Vlaanderen" at an additional monthly cost but which requires a triple LNB or motorised satellite dish.
As of the 27th of March 2015 the company offers a choice of three packages to be used in conjunction with either bought or rented DVB-S2 Set-top boxes (STB) to receive MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 services (backwards compatible with DVB-S technology) and all of which include a built-in smartcard reader which uses the Nagravision version 3 "Merlin" encryption to protect the transmissions.
