Digiturk made its major breakthrough when it acquired the rights to broadcast Turkish football league, which are subject to quite high prices since the country has a great interest towards football. Service eventually grew larger, and they added special channels for movies and series and such. It became an [[HBO]]-like, since it has the resources to buy movies earlier than cable channels, also many running/ended TV series as well.
