Travelxp lands on MEO in Portugal

Travel channel provider Travelxp 4K has struck a deal with Altice Portgual’s MEO, enabling it to expand its European footprint.

Viewers in Portugal are now able to watch global travel programmes from their homes, thanks to MEO’s launch of Travelxp.

The channel will be available in high definition for MEO subscribers on channel 124 for MEO ADSL and MEO Fibre, MEO Android and Apple TV and MEO Go and in 4K on position 400 on MEO Fiber via the MEOBox 4k, and MEO Android and Apple TV.

The channel says its content has been localised. Travelxp is already localized in 17 languages and distributed in over 20 countries across Europe.

Following investment in home produced shows including Off the Grid and Boarding Pass, Travelxp has launched new titles including The Gypsies and The Savvy Nomad.

“Television is unequivocally the dominant medium in Portuguese society. According to a study I came across recently, the average daily television viewing per person in Portugal is four hours and 47 minutes,” said Sumant Bahl, managing director, Europe & Africa, Travelxp.

“This has got us excited about launching the premium HDR content of Travelxp 4K in HLG HDR, 10-bit REC 2100 colour space and 50 frames on one of the main platforms in the country, MEO Altice. Not only will the resolution make it a more vivid and immersive experience for the audience in Portugal but we are also confident that they will love our programs that feature some of the world’s most beautiful destinations and the unforgettable experiences to be had when you visit them.”
