[Satellite Today 01-08-09] Tandberg Television won a content delivery deal with Starz Entertainment, the company announced Jan. 7.
    Starz, which operates 16 movie channels including the Starz and Encore brands with about 17.4 million and 31.6 million subscribers, respectively, will use Tandberg’s next-generation MediaPath secure content delivery system for its on demand services. The upgrade provides Starz with digital video broadcasting satellite (DVB-S2) delivery and other enhanced features.
    “We chose Tandberg Television’s next generation MediaPath system because it supports the bandwidth needed to handle the amount of titles and formats that Starz delivers. The user interface has the flexibility to scale from our current needs to accommodate our future requirements,” said Ray Milius, senior vice president of programming and information technology operations at Starz. 
    Financial details of the contract were not disclosed.
