Mediaset Premium drew €382.4 million from the sale of prepaid cards, top-ups (so-called recharges) and easy pay subscriptions. This compares with €388.8 million in Q3 2011.

No new subscriber figures have been released, but in November 2011 Broadband TV News reported there to be over 2 million Easypay subscribers.
