Orby Satellite TV is Back


Having shut down, OrbyTV a satellite service that is a competitor of Dish Network and Direct TV is now back in service again under new ownership. 

ORBY TV IS BACK!


A Trip Down Memory Road With Orby Satellite TV


In 2019 OrbyTV launched its subscription satellite TV service. It was only available in the lower 48 United States and it competed with both Dish and DirecTV for mostly rural viewers. Typically rural America still does not have the broadband infrastructure in place to support high bandwidth streaming TV. So satellite TV is pretty much their only option if they live beyond the reach of their local cable wire.

In March of 2021, Orby customers received the following letter.

“We are sorry to announce that Orby TV has closed its doors, and the Orby TV service has ended. It was an honor to serve you,”
This was a shame because they offered something both Dish and DirecTV didn't. In addition to popular TV network channels, OrbyTV also offers free local channels. They also did not require a credit check or make you sign an extended contract. Along with those pesky early termination fees.
The best part about OrbyTV at the time was the cost was much less with a TV subscription starting at only $40/month.

In addition, we are in discussions with every major programming group from the previous Orby platform. We’ll be offering a wider selection soon – featuring most of the original Orby programming."

This set off alarm bells and we decided to investigate a little further. And we stumbled upon tvrosat discussing the return of Orby TV.
