Orby TV is an American direct broadcast satellite provider based in Burbank, California. Founded in 2019, Orby transmitted digital satellite television and audio to households within the United States and territories on Pan-American satellite Eutelsat 117 West A. The company's primary competitors were Dish Network, DirecTV and cable television providers. Orby TV's CEO was Michael Thornton, the former chief executive officer for Starz, as well as former Programming Director at DirecTV.[2] On March 1, 2021, the company shut down and service ended abruptly due to the company running out of operating capital.[3] The company website was updated with a short text page recommending customers switch to DISH Network through a limited-time partnership discount.[4]
