Vision TV

Vision TV is a pay television operator based in Saleria that offers digital cable TV to both residential and commercial customers. It was launched in 1986 as TeleCavo, then it was acquired by Vision Communications in 2005 and rebranded into Vision TV. It can be considered as a companion to the pay satellite TV service Vision Direct.

As of 10 May 2021, Vision TV has over 10 million subscribers.

As TeleCavo (1986-2005)
Vision TV was launched under the name TeleCavo, two years after the government of Saleria allowed privately-owned TV stations to broadcast in the country in 1984.

Initially, it was only available in Qemshire and it only carried SPBC 1, SPBC 2, Rai Siarla and Rete Tre. A year later, it later began carrying foreign channels at the time, such as The Children's Channel, Mirrorvision, Music Box, Sky Channel, and Bravo, as well as Italian television channels such as Videomusic, Rai Uno, Rai Due, Rai Tre, TMC (now La7), and Italia 1.

Over the next 5-10 years, more cable TV systems were installed in other cities in the country.

In 2000, TeleCavo launched its own digital cable service using the DVB-C broadcasting standard. Analog cable broadcasts in Saleria were shutdown in 2015.

As Vision TV (2005-present)
On 01 November 2005, TeleCavo was acquired by Vision Communications. Former Vision Communications CEO, Enrico De Bartolo, told The Saleria Journal that the acquisition would "benefit new and existing subscribers of the service." At the end of 2005, it was rebranded to Vision TV in order keep in line with the company's branding.

In late 2004, Vision TV began offering high-definition channels, such as HD1, SPBC HD, SPBC Sport HD and Rete Tre HD.

In 2006, Vision TV launched the Vision TV Next family of DVR-enabled set-top boxes.

In 2016, Vision TV launched the Vision TV Play family of Internet-enabled set-top boxes with 4K decoding and DVR functionality. On that same year, Vision Communications launched Vision 4K, the first 4K television channel to be broadcast in Saleria.
