Hispasat and Media Broadcast Satellite have reached an agreement on a deal with an initial duration of five years to distribute FunBox UHD, in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
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 Media Broadcast Satellite’s teleport capacities in Usingen (Germany) with Hispasat’s 30W-5 satellite (H30W-5).
Hispasat has supported the development and implementation of Ultra-High-Definition technology in order to make it available as soon as possible for cinema and television viewers. The company was the first satellite operator to make an Ultra-High-Definition broadcast in Latin America through the Hispasat 30W-3 satellite. Since September 2013, the company has provided open-access broadcast of the Hispasat 4K channel in Europe, made available to the industry to encourage the use of this technology.
