PT MNC Sky Vision Tbk was originally founded under the name PT Malicak Nusa Semesta on August 8, 1988 and on July 29, 1989 changed its name to PT Matahari Lintas Cakrawala. [2] However, it was only at the end of 1993 that this company received permission to manage the subscription television business under the trademark Indovision, and was finally launched on January 16, 1994 and began operating on October 1, 1994. [1] [3] Indovision started its service with a five-channel C-Band Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) analog service. Using Palapa B2P satellite for its transponders, the C-Band DBS service featured programming from the "Gang of Five", which was a consortium that was set up to compete against STAR TV in Asia. Cooperation with Turner Broadcasting System and ESPN Asia had agreed since October 1991, HBO Asia since October 1993 and the rest since March 1994. [4] Before the launch of Indovision, their three channels could still be taken by satellite dishes, but after the launch, their broadcasts were scrambled using Videocipher. [5] [6] [7]

In 1997, IndoStar-1 which is 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 broadcasting (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.

This satellite uses S-Band frequency, which is less vulnerable to atmospheric interference than other satellite frequencies, and are well suited to tropical climates such as Indonesia. Cakrawarta-1 is managed and operated by PT Media Citra Indostar (MCI), established on 22 July 1991. [1]

By the end of 1997, the company anticipated terminating its analog service and encouraged its subscribers to switch to its digital DBS service. [1]

In 2008, a slimmed-down suite of channels was marketed separately by Indovision as Top TV. It was discontinued at the end of 2017 in the rebranding to MNC Vision. [8]

In May 2009, Indovision launched a satellite named Indostar-2/Cakrawarta-2/ProtoSar-2. It was later renamed to SES-7 in May 2010. It is positioned at 108.2° East longitude to avoid collisions. [9] [10] [11]

Currently, MNC Vision has 5 channels in high-definition, including HBO HD, Fox Movies Premium HD, National Geographic Channel HD, Disney XD HD, and Fox Sports 3 HD.

On December 12, 2017, Indovision merged with Top TV and Okevision to form MNC Vision. [12]

On May 12, 2023, Warner Bros. Discovery Asia-Pacific ended its contract with MNC Vision and removed its 14 channels from the platform. [13]
