The data cut-off date was on 1 January each year, including 1 January 2015. The article also explains how the channels changed during each year, in relation to both the country where they were broadcast and the satellite position from which they were transmitted. It shows how these HDTV channels changed to comply with broadcasting standards and coding principles. The changes in the number of satellite HDTV channels of different genres are given for each year, as well as the percentage of channels of each genre in the countries with the largest satellite HDTV markets.
