Yes (company)

yes (Hebrew: יס; stylized as yes.), formerly incorporated as D.B.S. Satellite Services (1998) Ltd (Hebrew: די.בי.אס. שרותי לווין (1998) בע״מ), is the sole direct broadcast satellite television provider in Israel. It broadcasts multichannel TV and VOD services via Israeli satellites Amos-3 and Amos-7. It also offers DVR capabilities, and 4K support. The largest shareholder of the provider is the Bezeq corporation, which holds up to 49% of its shares.

The early years of the company were unstable due to technical and financial difficulties. Even though the three main cable companies in Israel sought to compete with the satellite company by slashing prices, the subscriber base grew due to the new services that Yes offered, as well as the lack of cable coverage in many rural areas. In response, the cable companies merged into one company under the name HOT.

In 2017, yes served about 600,000 subscribers.

Yes provides television services to more than half a million customers using two Israeli satellites, AMOS-2 and AMOS-3. The company broadcasts more than 200 television stations from around the world, along with exclusive Israeli channels. Yes provides STING TV over its fiber network, as well as the OTT service Yes+. By 2025, near the end of the contract with Amos, 90% of its subscriber base had moved to it, while a limited satellite service continues operating on AMOS and on the newly-launched IAI Dror satellite.

In addition to its subscription television operations, Yes owns Yes Studios, and also supports the Israeli film industry.
