Joyne was a provider of digital television via satellite for the Dutch and Flemish market, using the Eutelsat's 9B satellites at 9°E east. Joyne is a combination of the words Joy and Join.[1] For most channels a smartcard was required to decrypt the Conax signal.[2] On 9 April 2021 Joyne went bankrupt. Bankruptcy was requested by Eutelsat.[3] On 19 April 2021 it was announced Canal+ Luxembourg took over certain assets. Customers will be offered to move to Canal Digitaal and TV Vlaanderen's offer. Some channels offered formerly by Joyne will continue broadcasting on Eutelsat 9B at least till 31 july 2021. Some other channels including channels owned by Discovery have ceased broadcast on 19 April 2021.[4]
