P. S. Saminathan, Managing director, Pyramid Saimira said, “The partnership with Spize TV is a very crucial step, in terms of our global entertainment strategy. With this venture, we will gain access into more new territories, which will help synergize and leverage our content significantly. This also sets us well on our way towards expansion in Europe. Personally speaking, this marks my re-entry into the cable & satellite space and signals the beginning of an exciting journey in this space.”
Spize TV will offer numerous channels in the North Bouquet and South Bouquet categories. The North Bouquet will offer Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, Bangla, Gujarati language channels, while the South bouquet will offer Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Singhalese and Malay channels.
Spize TV will have both Viaccess and Irdeto conditional access systems to allow both bouquets to watch a mix of channels including live international cricket matches played in India and Pakistan.
SpizeTV will be arranging the installation of dual-LNBs on the existing viewers’ of HotBird dishes to allow them to continue watching their other favourite channels on the HotBird satellite, as well as a large bouquet of channels on SpizeTV on the EB9 satellite.
