Leading satellite TV providers DIRECTV in the United States, TPS in Europe, and Showtime in the Middle East, provide the most comprehensive, most compelling live TV content available in the air.

So, if you're flying from London to Berlin you can catch the stock market recap, or you can watch a European football match on the way to or from Abu Dhabi, or see the evening news on a flight from LA to New York. We look for programming services that provide all the primary English-language channels such as CNN, Bloomberg, BBC, plus local language channels in every region.

Subscription packages offer a diverse range of programming including the option for CD-quality music audio channels. In addition, to the subscription programming provided, Tailwind 500 and 550 are capable of receiving a large selection of "free to air" TV channels. With a wide variety of business and news programming, sports, arts and entertainment, you're assured of staying informed and entertained whether traveling in the U.S., in Europe, or in the Middle East.

And with Tailwind TV, aircraft owners and operators don't have to go through the trouble of separately getting programming - it's all part of the service with Rockwell Collins. The cost of the first year of programming is included with the system. After the first year, an annual subscription fee is charged for the programs desired, and Rockwell Collins handles all the details. And programming assistance is available through Rockwell Collins' Network Operations Center. It's that easy.

Rockwell Collins offers the same type of programming viewed in millions of homes for owners of Tailwind 100, 300, 500 and 550 airborne systems, including many well-known channels.
