FIC adds to StarHub's HD slate
StarHubTVSingapore’s StarHub will launch seven new high definition channels over the coming months, and will offer them free to subscribers who already take the standard-def versions until the end of the year. The channels all come from Fox International Channels (FIC) Asia.
From July 1, StarHub will add Fox HD, FX HD, Nat Geo Wild HD and Star World HD. Food Network Asia HD will launch on July 5. Another two – FoxCrime HD and Nat Geo Adventure HD – will be added on September 16.
So StarHub will offer free viewing of the seven new HD channels, together with an existing HDTV service, AXN HD, until December 31.
With the addition of the seven new channels, the total number of HD channels available on StarHub TV will increase to 14.
With the platform having lost English Premier League soccer to rival SingTel’s Mio TV, StarHub is doing what it can to retain subscribers to its basic package in the months before new government legislation will see Mio having to offer the key soccer property to StarHub subs.
Ong Bee Lian, Vice President of Home Solutions, StarHub, said: "StarHub strives to provide the best entertainment programmes for our customers with an excellent and reliable viewing experience. Viewers can now enjoy a variety of exciting content ranging from sports, dramas, movies, documentaries, lifestyle to entertainment programmes in HD with crystal clear picture clarity, full vivid colour and in widescreen broadcast – the combination of which will offer a breathtaking home cinematic experience available only on StarHub TV."
Avinash Himatsinghani, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Southeast Asia, Fox International Channels, said: "As Asia’s largest international network, our launch of six new HD channels on StarHub TV marks a significant milestone for Fox International Channels."
