SPI International/FilmBox has signed its first channel deal with StarNet in Moldova to carry seven international HD thematic channels from SPI's global portfolio.

Now, all of StarNet subscribers in its home territory will gain access to SPI/FilmBox’s HD channels featuring programs such as FightBox HD, Gametoon HD and DocuBox. The latter will be available with Romanian subtitles whereas the other channels will be available in English with no subtitles. All seven SPI/FilmBox channels are included in StarNet’s EBT package.


The entry into The Republic of Moldova supports SPI/FilmBox’s strategic business decision to keep expanding its reach into the Eastern European region. “It has been one of SPI’s top business goals to offer people of the Republic of Moldova some of the most compelling and exciting HD content in the world. Today, we’ve achieved that goal”, said Tamás Fülöp CE regional director of operation at SPI International. “These are the first steps into what we hope will be a long-lasting and vibrant partnership between SPI International and StarNet.”

Operating since 2004, StarNet offers a portfolio of products and services and provides access to Internet and high speed data transmission via optical fibre. It is said to offer one of the most technically advanced digital distribution platforms in Eastern Europe.
