The perfect place to showcase your pr We want What Satellite & Digital TV to be the ideal showcase for your products and services. Earlier this year we ran our third readers’ survey to find out how our readers use What Satellite and what products they are interested in. They asked for more product features, more how-tos and more technical guides. They did not want day-by-day TV listings – that’s what EPGs are for – but they did want in-depth coverage of the TV shows they like.
n They are very knowledgeable – 70% have upgraded their receiver’s software n Want to know more about our new sections and how you can place products within them? We have much more information – contact our advertising team today.
