Hispasat and Media Broadcast Satellite to distribute the FunBox UHD channel in EMEA

Hispasat, together with Media Broadcast Satellite (MBS), has reached an agreement on a deal with an initial duration of 5 years to distribute a Europe’s UHD channel, FunBox UHD, in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa (EMEA). The channel, which belongs to the content provider SPI International, is a thematic channel about nature, travel and adventure, art music, culture, and lifestyle. The broadcast combines MBS’s teleport capacities in Usingen (Germany) with Hispasat’s high-power 30W-5 satellite H30W-5, with extensive coverage throughout the region specifically designed to distribute top-tier multimedia contents. This broadcast platform aims to become the most efficient and flexible medium for 4K channels to be distributed in Europe and North Africa. This channel can be received in several cable-TV operator platforms in Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, among others. Hispasat has supported the development and implementation of UHD technology in order to make it available for cinema and television viewers.
