Seasonal Satellite Server for Sports Broadcasting

Pay only while you broadcast. Satline gives sports broadcasters Satellite DVB and SAT>IP server plans built around your broadcast calendar — any season, any league. Activate month by month and hibernate for free when you’re off the air; your configuration stays intact, ready to wake before your next window. Match your infrastructure costs to your revenue cycle, with no lock-in and no off-season waste.

Why pay for a 12-month server when you only broadcast half the year?

Satline’s seasonal model is built for broadcasters whose revenue follows a calendar – leagues, cups, tournaments, and pre-season friendlies. Instead of carrying a 12-month server bill against the months you actually broadcast, you align infrastructure spend with the season you’re actually selling. Pay for up to 6 active months across a 12-month term, hibernate for free for the rest, and reactivate whenever the next competition opens.

Solutions

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does seasonal billing work?

You tell us your season window – for example, 1 August to 31 May for European football. Your server is provisioned and tested before the start date, billed monthly during the active window, and paused at the end of the season. No annual lock-in, no early termination fees.

What happens to my configuration during the off-season?

Your server configuration, satellite positions, CAM setup, and access credentials are preserved between seasons, so reactivation for the next season is fast and your setup picks up exactly where it left off. Dormant-period preservation terms are confirmed in your contract.

Can I scale up for playoffs or knockout rounds?

Yes. Tuner count, bandwidth, and concurrency capacity can be scaled mid-season – for example, adding bandwidth headroom for the playoff window or knockout rounds where audience size jumps.

Where are the servers located?

Vilnius, Lithuania, and London, UK – the same data centers used by Satline’s year-round IPTV broadcasters. Choose the location closest to your audience or your satellite feed source.

How long can I pause my servers for free?

For as long as you’ve been with us. Your free hibernation matches your active time one-to-one – so if you’ve run your server for 12 months, you can hibernate it for up to 12 months at no cost. The longer you broadcast with us, the more free hibernation you bank.

How long does it take to turn on my server after it was sleeping?

When you’re ready to turn on your services again, just submit a support ticket or Live Chat. We’ll have you back online within 1 business day.

Is there any fee to pause or turn on my services?

No. Pausing your server and bringing it back online are always free – there’s no activation or reactivation charge. Hibernation is free up to the time you’ve been active, one-to-one with your active months. The only possible charge is a small storage fee if you choose to stay paused beyond your earned free hibernation.

Can I cancel while my server is hibernating?

Yes. You can cancel at no cost at any time, whether your server is active or paused – no penalty, no notice period. We’d be sad to see you go, but nothing locks you in.

Do you have monthly or pro-rated subscriptions?

Yes. Billing is monthly with no fixed term and no lock-in — you only pay for the months your server is active and online. You can hibernate up to half of your total time with us: every active month earns up to a month of free hibernation. Cancel anytime at no cost.

How much time does Satline need to put my server to sleep?

If you use our Live Chat, we’ll do it right away. If you prefer a ticket or email, we’ll pause your server within 1 business day.
