German transmission services provider Media Broadcast has contracted 25Mbps of DVB-S2 capacity on the Astra satellite platform at 23.5° East to deliver three HD and three SD channels for Filmbox International.
The agreement covers the distribution of FightBox HD, DocuBox HD, Erox HD, FashionBox SD, 360TuneBox SD and Eroxxx SD to viewers of the Skylink platform and cable headends in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
