In 1999 the newly formed network launched B4U Movies and B4U Music in the UK on the Sky Digital platform as a subscription package along with Sony Entertainment Television. The launch was surrounded in controversy, with rival network Zee TV claiming that B4U had stolen its database of subscribers in the UK. The B4U management claimed that they had got hold of the database from ex-employees and has been using it to send mailers promoting its service.〔(The Indian CAB&SAT Reporter - ZEE TO LAUNCH TV WORLD )〕 The network went on to launch the channels in the USA, Canada and the Middle East by the end of the year.
