In Brief: blinkx, Arqiva, Sky Italia

May 16, 2012 10.23 Europe/London By Julian Clover

blinkx is adding a dedicated app for Sony Internet-enabled home entertainment devices. The video search engine is available on Bravia TVs, Blu-ray Discs and streaming media players, and home cinema systems.

Arqiva has signed a new contract with Eutelsat Communications for additional satellite capacity to meet growing demand for its Occasional Use satellite services. Arqiva has taken up 36MHz (one transponder) of capacity on Eutelsat 7A. This provides Arqiva with overall coverage of Europe and specific coverage of the Middle East, Turkey and Russia.

Sky Italia has acquired the TV rights for the FIM MotoGP World Championship starting from the 2014 season, which will be offered across all Sky
technology platforms, including FTA TV, pay-TV, Internet, mobile and Sky Go. It will also see the championship broadcast for the first time in HD in the Italian market.
