Current Pay-TV services in Turkey are Digiturk, D-Smart, TeleDünya and Türksat KabloTV. The monthly prices for the services are listed as the following part;

The first digital television transmissions in Turkey were made by the Uzan Group with Turkey's first television channel Star TV. As they were on the lead with their channels Star, TeleOn and Kral, the Uzan Group launched Star Digital on Turksat in late 1999. In 2003 the platform's name was changed as DigiFun Club, but it has been taken down.

Turkey's first Pay-TV service was CINE5 by MultiCanal owned by Erol Aksoy. CINE5 was launched in late 1994. It held the rights to the latest movie premieres, series and especially sports such as the Turkish Football League. In 2000, CINE5 launched CINE+Digital on Turksat with some specialty channels, but again in 2003 this platform was taken down as well.

Turkey's first and leading digital platform is Digiturk. It was launched in 1999 and owned by Çukurova Group. Digiturk was a lot more professional and had a lot of advantages over the other platform as Star Digital and CINE+Digital. Digiturk has recently launched HD channels of itself such as Lig TV HD, MovieMax HD, EuroSport HD, National Geographic HD and soon DiziMax HD.

Turkey's new digital platform is D-Smart owned by the Dogan Holding. Actually, the first HD television broadcasts were carried out by the Dogan Holding with the two channels Kanal D HD and Discovery Channel HD on their D-Smart platform. Currently, there are some HD channels via D-Smart which are Discovery HD, EuroSport HD, HD Smart, Kanal D HD and soon there will be Star HD, Erotic HD. D-Smart boasts more than 30 channels and they will add some new channels that will be available soon on D-Smart such as Fox Crime, Trace.TV, BBC Prime, ProSieben and Sat1.

Cable network is renamed as TeleDünya which has some HD channels at the moment also called as National Geographic HD and EuroSport HD. TeleDünya broadcasts via the cable network around the country but it does not have some deep roots throughout the country which leads it in a bad place.
