Our Members

DIF's growing membership includes many of the leading companies in the delivery of digital TV in Europe: BSkyB, CANAL+, Deutsche Telekom, Irdeto, Liberty Global, Microsoft, Nagravision, NDS, Qualcomm, Pace Micro Technology, Sky Deutschland, Sky Italia, Viaccess and ZetaCast.

Members of DIF have driven the advance of digital TV in Europe through the collective investment of billions of euro. They have helped to set technical standards and have made digital TV a reality through a combination of satellite, cable, terrestrial and IPTV platforms, as well as broadband, mobile and fixed telephone connections.

As a result of their investments, tens of millions of households in EU Member States can access an unprecedented choice of digital TV channels and innovative interactive services offering information and e-commerce through the TV. Many digital viewers can select in-depth coverage of news and sports through multiple video screens or experience channel interactivity through voting and enhanced information. They can request information about programmes and advertisements or use their TV set as a portal to access Information Society services.

DIF members also have been at the forefront of making content available everywhere and at any time: via mobile, the PC, etc.

DIF meets 3 to 4 times a year. This is supplemented by regular e-mails and conference calls. Its Chair and Vice-Chair are elected annuallly from its members. Currently these positions are held by Jim Beveridge (Microsoft) and Bertrand Wendling (Nagravision) respectively. Sheila Cassells is Executive Director.
