SPI International launches UHD channel on Turkcell

Channel provider SPI International has launched its Funbox 4K/UHD channel on Turkcell and added five extra TV channels to its current line-up offered by the Turkish mobile operator.

Turkcell TV+ has recently introduced a 4K set-top box and started broadcasting Funbox 4K/UHD, making it the first IPTV platform to launch Ultra HD channels in Turkey.

Turkcell’s subscribers now also have access to FilmBox Turkey, a dedicated Turkish channel that airs a variety of international blockbusters and popular TV series.

Other new channels on the platform include FilmBox Art House. Fast&FunBox HD and 360TuneBox HD.

“We are glad to extend our previous offer, which included FightBox HD, FashionBox HD and DocuBox HD with additional five channels from the SPI/Filmbox worldwide portfolio,” said Murat Muratoglu, SPI’s Sales Director for Turkey and the Middle East.

“Both movie channels FimBox Turkey and FilmBox Art House have Turkish subtitles while Fast&FunBox has been dubbed in Turkish in order to deliver the best watching experience for our viewers in Turkey,” explained Mr. Muratoglu. “In order to satisfy Turkcell’s subscribers’ appetite for new technologies we have added to the new line-up Funbox 4K/UHD. Our first Ultra HD channel allows viewers to experience more nuance and detail, faster frame rates, contrast dynamics and extended colours.”
