While Rainier Satellite never likes to see anyone go out of business it does happen.

Our research shows that some Orby TV subscribers were old C band satellite customers. Very possibly you still have your c band dish around. With that in mind Rainier Satellite wants to extend a helping hand to those folk. We are working on an offer for those old c band folk to get back on board with c band TV to fill their entertainment needs.

Offer Details

Rainier Satellite offered a special deal for the 4DTV orphans in 2016. We are reaching out to the Orby orphans at this time for entertainment options.

Is Orby TV shutting down?

Rainier Satellite lately been contacted from concerned folk who currently have Orby TV looking for answers and options. There’s much speculation out there on the internet. We’ll do our best to get the facts out as they’re known.

On February 17, 2021 reports started coming in about Orby TV going out of business noting their website disappeared except for a static message.

Customers who reached out to Orby via e-mail  have reported they’ve received no response.

Rainier Satellite contacted Orbys customer help line to find it has a recorded message that Orby is no longer activating customer accounts. Orbys Facebook page appears to have been removed. At Orbys YouTube page all content has been removed.

Rainier also found out customers scheduled for installation had their install cancelled. Other reports said that customers cannot log into their accounts any longer.

Sources have been unable to reach Michael Thornton, Orbys CEO, and a former Starz and DIRECTV executive. When they called a Beverly Hills, California phone number listed for Orby at various business web sites, the person answering said it was a private residence which had nothing to do with Orby.

Eric Becker, a former Starz executive who now runs a private public relations firm called Becker PR, has done public relations work for Orby in the past. But when asked if he knew the satellite TV services status, he said he did not work with Orby any longer and was unaware of its current status.

While there’s no official word yet from Orby TV these abrupt measures by Orby Tv does not look good for its customers.

Those are the facts as far as we know.

If Orby TV is in fact shutting down Rainier Satellite would like to reach out to Orby TVs orphans to get on board with us for their TV entertainment at a low cost.
