Skylink hit by Bulgarian DTH failure

June 11, 2013 08.37 Europe/London By Chris Dziadul

SkylinkSkylink subscribers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia are to see some of the channels they receive revert from HD back to SD.

Viewers in both countries who opt for the Mixbox package have been requested to retune their satellite receivers to allow for the change.

Mixbox consists of six channels – FightBox HD, DocuBox HD, FashionBox HD, EroX HD 360, 360 TuneBox and EroXXXHD – and FashionBox, 360 TuneBox and EroXXX are now being offered in SD.

The change is a direct result of the closure of the Bulgarian DTH platform Satellite BG, with which Skylink had an agreement, at the beginning of this month, and the cost of distributing the channels via Astra.

Skylink is owned by the Luxembourg-based M7 Group and the leading DTH platform in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
