SPI’s FilmBox channels on BitTorrent Live App

Three SPI’s channels are featured on the recently launched multichannel, live and linear video streaming platform from BitTorrent.

BitTorrent Live app spans news, sports, music, tech, and youth culture. The line-up on the platform includes three channels from the SPI International’s portfolio.

FAST&FUNBOX HD: a television channel offering an action-packed, adrenaline-including medley of extreme sports, from car racing and motocross to snowboarding and skateboarding; a large variety of disciplines, shows and competitions from all over the world.
 

FIGHTBOX HD: A martial arts channel with multiple combat sports disciplines as well as live kickboxing and MMA events from Europe and the U.S.

FILMBOX ART HOUSE presents world cinema masterpieces by such prominent directors as Kurosawa, Fellini or Hitchock in addition to the award-winning festival movies and independent productions. Every month FilmBox Art House also airs special presentations devoted to a particular creative movement (German Expressionism, New Romanian Cinema, etc.) or individual filmmakers (The Surreal Art of Salvador Dali, Rossellini’s War Trilogy, etc.)
 
BitTorrent Live allows for large audiences to view live video with sub 10-second latency and without the need for an expensive CDN or pre-provisioning. With BitTorrent Live, every viewer is also a broadcaster. This allows the video stream to remain strong and for the broadcast to be as scalable as traditional Over-the-Air TV.
 
“We are excited to be part of the BitTorrent Live’s initial launch and look forward to a long and prosperous relationship,” said Stacey Sobel, SPI International Executive Vice President.
