Sky Digital is the brand name for British Sky Broadcasting's digital satellite television service, transmitted from SES Astra satellites located at 28.2°E and Eutelsat's Eurobird 1 satellite at 28.5°E. BSkyB's analogue broadcasts ceased in 2001, so the service is now more commonly marketed as just Sky.
Sky Digital was officially launched on 1 October 1998, although small-scale tests were carried out before then.
Sky Digital's broadcasts are in DVB-compliant MPEG-2, with the Sky Movies and SkyBoxOffice channels including optional Dolby Digital soundtracks for recent films, although these are only accessible with a Sky+box.
