OSN offers 154 television channels and 53 high-definition channels and 3D entertainment. OSN was formed as a result of merger of two of the Mideast's largest TV networks, Orbit and Showtime Arabia in 2009. The OSN network is owned and operated by Panther Media Group Limited, a joint venture between KIPCO and Mawarid Holding and is registered in the DIFC . OSN's corporate headquarters and Broadcast Center are based in Dubai Media City in the United Arab Emirates . OSN introduced several technologies and services in the Middle East market. In 2012 the OSN DVR HD was launched. OSN Play, an online TV platform; Plus HD, a 3D, HD, internet-enabled satellite receiver and recorder and OSN on Demand, the region's first VOD service were all launched in the same year.Overview Orbit Showtime Network was created by merger of the two largest pay TV operators in the Middle East: Orbit Communications Company – a member of Riyadh-based Mawarid Holdings, and Showtime Arabia – a subsidiary of KIPCO. Showtime Arabia was launched in 1996 as a joint venture between KIPCO and NBCUniversal and six years after its launch became the number one satellite television platform in MENA. Showtime Arabia continued its growth in the region by adding a range of new channels and new services such as the “Showbox DVR’ System in 2005 which allowed subscribers to record different programs. In 2008, Showtime Arabia also introduced a video on-demand service, broadcasting full seasons of premier U.S. series and top Hollywood movies. Bahrain-based Orbit was the first pay TV service in the Middle East though challenging environment —from rampant piracy to stubbornly low subscriber base— drove it to consolidate with the larger Showtime to better compete with popular free-to-air satellite television.Technology OSN had launched 2 multi-function interactive decoders: OSN Plus HD OSN HDChannels Movies: * OSN YaHala Cinema * ART Aflam 1 * ART Aflam 2 * ART Cinema * Alfa Cinema 1 * Alfa Cinema 2 *OSN Movies HD *OSN Movies First HD *OSN Movies First +2 HD *OSN Movies Disney HD *OSN Cinema HD *OSN Kids HD *OSN Enigma HD *OSN Action HD *Star Movies HD *Paramount Channel HD General Entertainment: * OSN Comedy HD * Al Safwa * Al Yawm HD * Alfa Series HD * Alfa Series +2 HD * ART Hekayat * ART Hekayat 2 *Star World HD *E!
