Eutelsat Group announced that StarTV, one of Mexico?s leading DTH operators, has selected the EUTELSAT 117 West B satellite for the deployment of StarFlix, its new video streaming service. This latest multi-year, multi-transponder capacity agreement will enable StarTV to offer an innovative new streaming and on-demand service to customers with a wide variety of quality content, in complement to its Direct-to-Home service. Available from mid-March, viewers across Mexico, even in rural areas beyond terrestrial connectivity, will be able to enjoy the StarFlix service, with a wide range of programs and movies streamed to their screens via satellite.

The agreement builds on the long-standing relationship between Eutelsat Group and Star TV which already leverages EUTELSAT 117 West A and EUTELSAT 117 West B satellites. Its rapidly growing DTH service offers a diversified portfolio of packages catering for all budgets, with well over 100 TV channels, and almost half a million subscribers.
