What Lyngsat does

LyngSat, operated by LyngSat Network, is a privately held online media company founded on 16 December 1995 in Helsingborg, Sweden, that operates one of the longest-running web-based satellite channel information resources. The platform provides comprehensive data on satellite TV and radio channels worldwide, including transponder frequencies, beam coverage maps, encryption status, and channel packages. It serves a global audience of satellite TV viewers, uplinkers, broadcasters, DTH operators, and advertisers through the LyngSat Network, which comprises four websites: LyngSat (the core channel database), LyngSat Stream (aggregating public streaming links to 4,022 linear satellite TV channels and 3,306 linear satellite radio channels), LyngSat Maps (satellite footprint visualization), and LyngSat Logo (channel branding assets).

The underlying technology is a web-based information platform built on a manually curated and community-contributed database covering satellites across Asia, Europe, Atlantic, and America regions, supported by a SatTracker satellite position monitoring system. Coverage extends to free-to-air TV and radio listings across Pacific, Asia, Middle East, Europe, Africa, South America, and North America. The platform incorporates user-submitted updates and corrections, creating a crowdsourced verification layer that enhances data accuracy.

LyngSat's business model is direct-to-consumer and advertising-supported. The site is freely accessible to all visitors, with revenue generated exclusively through the sale of display advertising inventory, including desktop vertical bars (300-1,350 EUR/month), desktop leaderboards (450-900 EUR/month), mobile horizontal bars (700-3,150 EUR/month), and mux bars shown on satellite and mux pages. Pricing is denominated in EUR with a 1.06x USD conversion, a minimum monthly order of 250 EUR, and minimum total order of 500 EUR. Multi-month discounts of 10%, 20%, and 30% are offered for 3, 6, and 12-month campaigns respectively, and all ads include Google Analytics impression and click statistics. The company operates with 1-10 employees and holds no disclosed external funding.
