TuVes S.A., also known as TuVes, is a Chilean provider of high-definition satellite television that transmits digital signals, with headquarters in Santiago, Chile and customers throughout South America, Panama and the Dominican Republic.

It has two business units; wholesaler, whose main objective is to generate alliances with telecommunications companies and cable operators through white label DTH; and on the other hand retail, where satellite television is offered directly to the customer.

Its corporate office is located at Av. Del Valle 577, office 403, Ciudad Empresarial, Huechuraba, Santiago, Chile and its Teleport2^[2]^[3] is in the commune of Curacaví. The company began operations on October 7, 2009.

History[edit]

TuVes formally began operations on October 7, 2009. It was founded by Konrad Burchardt. In the first instance, the group controlled the company, leaving a part in the hands of the CGE.^[4] In this first period, the company focused its efforts on reaching the public that did not yet have access to high-definition pay television. TuVes was the first satellite television company that opted for the prepaid mechanism for its subscribers,^[5] in addition to providing DVR capacity in all its packages. That same year, the TuVes teleport was launched in the municipality of Curacaví, central Chile. From there, all signals are lifted to the geostationary orbit satellite, Telstar 12V.

In 2012, TuVes' business model changed to white label DTH. The company sought to create alliances with cable operators and telecommunications companies that did not have the possibility of providing satellite television services. Consequently, each partner is responsible for the distribution of the set-top boxes and TuVes HD for the satellite transport of the signals.^[6]

By 2014, TuVes was already operating in Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, the Dominican Republic and Venezuela. Its commercial allies are Personal (subsidiary of Telecom Argentina) in Paraguay, TV Cable and ETAPA in Ecuador, Inter in Venezuela and TDH, Canal 10 and TCC in Uruguay.^[7]^[8]^[9]

In 2015, TuVes' offer diversified with the launch of Head End in the Sky or H.I.T.S and Rack-TV, both practical solutions for the digitalization and increase of analogue headend signals,^[10] added to the launch of new white label DTH operations with Inter Satelital in Paraguay and Tigo TV in Panama.

During 2016, it transitioned its services to the new Telstar 12 Vantage satellite, successor to Telstar 12.

In 2017 it added its clients to Altice from the Dominican Republic.

Technical information[edit]

Teleport[edit]

The TuVes Teleport was inaugurated in 2009 and since then it transmits the signal to the Telstar 12V geostationary satellite. It is located within the commune of Curacaví, 55 kilometers from the Chilean capital (Santiago).

Currently the Teleport receives and decodes 230 channels, which are then uploaded to the satellite. These signals come from different media such as fiber optics or satellites. Then all these signals are elevated with Verimatrix conditional access.

Dishes[edit]

Satellite dishes vary depending on the geographical position in which the service is accessed. The antennas used average 75 cm. The LNBs used are linear, giving greater fidelity to the image.

Decoders[edit]

The Set-top boxes used by TuVes HD operate under the DVB-S2, MPEG-4, USB 2.0 standard, in addition to outputs, in addition to HDMI, RCA outputs and IP port connection.

Satellite[edit]

TuVes currently uses the services of the Canadian satellite, Telstar 12V (or T12V), specifically the Pan American beam since March 2016. The T12V Pan American beam transmits in Ku band, and has coverage from the northern area of the Labrador peninsula to the Chilean Antarctic Territory. The satellite is geolocated in the 15º West position.

From the launch of TuVes in October 2009 until March 2016, the Telstar 12 satellite was used, in the same orbital position as its successor. Telstar 12 was a Ku Band geostationary satellite with coverage from the northern area of the Labrador peninsula to Coyhaique, as well as all of Europe. This satellite had the ability to provide transatlantic and north-south communication.
