In 2008, a slimmed-down suite of channels was marketed separately by Indovision as Top TV. īy the end of 1997, the company anticipated terminating its analog service and encouraged its subscribers to switch to its digital DBS service. Cakrawarta-1 is managed and operated by PT Media Citra Indostar (MCI), established on 22 July 1991. This satellite uses S-Band frequency, which are less vulnerable to atmospheric interference than other satellite frequencies, and are well suited to the tropical climate such as Indonesia. Following in 1997, IndoStar-1 which also known as Cakrawarta-1 (designed and built by Thomas van der Heyden, founder of what later became Orbital Sciences GEO division), was launched as the world's first commercial communications satellite to use S-band frequencies for broadcast (pioneered by van der Heyden), which provided high-quality transmissions to small-diameter 80 cm antennas in regions that experience heavy rainfall such as Indonesia. Using Palapa C-2 satellite for its transponder and broadcasting system, the C-Band DBS service features programming from international suppliers, such as HBO Asia, Star TV, Discovery, as well as local programming. Indovision started its service with five-channel C-Band Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) analog service. MNC Vision began operations on 16 January 1994 as Indovision.
