Freesat launches TV Guide solutionSeptember 11, 2015
Freesat, the UK based subscription free satellite TV service, now offer its connected TV guide solution to terrestrial, cable and satellite TV operators and CE manufacturers outside of the UK.
Freesat has applied its years of experience of operating a successful hybrid TV service to the creation of Metaphor, a smart TV guide solution for terrestrial, satellite and cable operators, who are looking to integrate broadband on-demand services into their existing linear broadcast offering. Metaphor is based on the Freetime service in the UK and driven by Freetime’s evolving roadmap.
Freesat first launched its connected TV Guide in the UK in 2012. [..] The underlying solution is now available for use internationally.
The first commercial agreement has been finalised with Italian free satellite operator tivùsat, for its new OTT service, tivùon!.
Metaphor includes a companion application available across iOS and Android that can be integrated with the TV service, recognising the importance of companion apps in our smartphone society.[..]
