NETSAT was created originally as part of Globosat (this word is a portmanteau of Globo and satélite, Portuguese for satellite), with four channels (Telecine, Multishow, GNT, and TopSport). Globosat used the C-band in the transmission of its satellite channels.
NETSAT
1993–1998
After Globosat was consolidated only as a pay-television programmer, its transmission system was renamed as "NETSAT", in reference to NET cable TV system, in which its parent company, Organizações Globo, owned an equity stake. The NETSAT television operations were closed in 1998 and replaced with Sky Brasil.
