FilmBox Live App Launches on Ooredoo TV

SPI International’s FilmBox Live app is now available via Ooredoo Oman’s TV set-top box service.

The new partnership enables Ooredoo Oman TV subscribers to find and stream FilmBox Live’s programs 24/7. Ooredoo TV, which features home-based plug-and-play entertainment, claims to be the first telecom company within the MENA region to offer customers the ability to easily sign up for its service at any of its stores and start streaming films, TV series and more from around the world.

“The subscription agreement with Ooredoo TV and SPI International’s FilmBox Live app delivers a broad range of on-demand content to viewers,” said Guney Yasavur, COO at SPI International. “We look forward to continuing to expand our programs to Ooredoo TV and their audience.”

Murat Muratoğlu, the head of distribution for ex-Yugo, Baltics, Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, AsiaPac, CIS and MENA at SPI International, added: “We are happy to ink this deal with Ooredoo TV, an important digital player in the region. This is the beginning of a long-term partnership. This partnership allows for our content to reach new audiences in the region.”

Feras bin Abdullah Al Shaikh, director of consumer sales at Ooredoo, commented: “We want our customers to enjoy the internet and all of its possibilities. With Ooredoo TV, users can experience video on demand at the click of a button. Today, customers are increasingly moving away from traditional TV watching habits of following a set schedule for catching their favorite series and soaps, to the flexibility of online and on-demand streaming; and that is exactly what Ooredoo TV offers.”
