FunBox UHD Lands EMEA Deal

HISPASAT, a Spanish telecommunications satellite operator, and telecommunications services provider Media Broadcast Satellite have signed a five-year deal to distribute FunBox UHD in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa (EMEA).

The deal combines Media Broadcast Satellite’s teleport capacities in Usingen, Germany, with HISPASAT’s high-power 30W-5 satellite (H30W-5). This broadcast platform will aim to become the most efficient and flexible medium for 4K channels to be distributed in Europe and North Africa. FunBox UHD also can be received in several cable-TV operator platforms in Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, among others.

SPI International’s FunBox UHD is a thematic channel about nature, travel and adventure, art music, culture and lifestyle.
