FUNBOX 4K/UHD channel launched in Luxembourg

SPI International has launched FUNBOX 4K/UHD on PostTV in Luxembourg. World’s first global TV channel with native 4K content is now available to PostTV viewers in the basic tier.

FunBox 4K/UHD

FUNBOX 4K/UHD is a premium, general entertainment TV channel which airs a mix of native 4K documentaries, performing arts programming, extreme adventure content as well as movies and TV series. The channel is broadcast from the Eutelsat’s HOT BIRD satellite. 

FUNBOX 4K/UHD viewers are able to experience more nuance and detail, faster frame rates, exceptional contrast dynamics and extended colors. All of this with a little help from N7900, the new set-top box from Netgem, which Luxembourg's telco Post Luxembourg decided to launch now in order to have enough boxes in the field when 4K has become more widely available.
 
POST Luxembourg currently has over 40,000 IPTV subscribers in a market out of about 200,000 homes in total. The company offers 250 SD channels and 170 HD channels including 360 Tunebox HD in the basic, FilmBox Arthouse in the World pack, and Mediabox pack which contains DocuBox HD, FightBox HD, Fast&FunBox HD, FilmBox Arthouse and Eroxxx HD.
 
Sven Breckler, Product Manager TV from POST said:  “We are happy to have FunBox 4K/UHD, one of the best 4K channels, available for the launch in our network. We are the first TV operator in Luxembourg which will make 4K available to its customers.“
 
“SPI is focusing on making as much native 4K content as possible available via this channel, and we are only showing those programs that have a high production value and can deliver outstanding visual highlights for the viewers,” said Berk Uziyel, Executive Director SPI International/Filmbox.
