FilmBox Live Online Service Launches in Romania

SPI International/FilmBox and Focus Sat, which is operated in Romania by UPC DTH, have extended their collaboration to offer complimentary access to the FilmBox Live online service.

The complimentary access to the FilmBox Live online service will be available to all of Focus Sat’s customers that subscribe to the FilmBox channels package. A monthly subscription to the FilmBox Premium Pack allows Focus Sat customers access to six premium movie channels from the SPI/FilmBox portfolio, including FilmBox Premium, FilmBox Extra HD, FilmBox Plus, FilmBox Family, DocuBox HD and FightBox HD. A FilmBox Pack subscription now also includes access to FilmBox Live, which allows subscribers to watch live-streaming channels and access the FilmBox VOD library, including unlimited access to the FilmBox Live multiscreen on-demand service.

The Filmbox Live on-demand library contains hundreds of titles, including major Hollywood productions such as Dallas Buyers Club, Seven Psychopaths and Kill the Messenger. In addition to films and videos streamed in HD, FilmBox Live features content in Ultra HD quality. It also features a lineup of SPI’s live TV channels.

Berk Uziyel, the executive director of SPI International/FilmBox, said: “We are very excited to extend our existing FilmBox Pack on Focus Sat. This full viewing experience is all-inclusive, ad-free, premium TV and multiscreen entertainment. It allows subscribers to enjoy an extensive library of top-quality and diverse programming content anywhere they want with a single subscription. Thanks to the ongoing collaboration with UPC DTH, FilmBox Live is now one of the leading VOD platforms in the region featuring not only movies on-demand but also non-stop, unlimited access to several live-streaming channels.”

Catalin Itu, the VP of sales and operations for UPC DTH, added: “After successfully launching FilmBox Live for UPC DTH customers in HU/CZ/SK in November 2016, we are pleased to make FilmBox Live also available to Focus Sat customers in Romania. This will further enhance our multi-screen services, providing our customers with more movies and thematic content.”
