Amino software powers Now TV integration

 

Now TV deploys a fully integrated Amino software stack, including Amino OS and
Amino Engage, to integrate its IPTV service with OTT in a next generation
Android TV user experience (UX) on its newly launched Android TV box Now H1

 

The new offering integrates OTT services such as HBO GO, Netflix, Red Bull TV,
Bloomberg and Deutsche Welle

 

Amino handles the Android TV and Netflix certification processes to enable Now
TV to concentrate on providing great content and user experience

 

Aferian plc (LSE AIM: AFRN), the B2B video streaming solutions company, today
announces that Amino has collaborated with Now TV, the leading pay-TV service
in Hong Kong and the media entertainment arm of HKT, Hong Kong's premier
telecommunications service provider and a leading innovator, to integrate its
pioneering IPTV service with popular OTT services such as HBO GO and Netflix.

 

Mr Derek Choi, Managing Director, HKT Home, said, "We are thrilled to
introduce Now H1 to families in Hong Kong. By converging the TV and OTT
worlds, Amino has helped Now H1 redefine the viewing experience for Hong Kong
consumers by providing a modern Android TV user experience that combines Now
TV content with preloaded OTT services such as HBO GO, ViuTV, Viu, Netflix,
Red Bull TV and Deutsche Welle."

 

Amino Engage, Amino's SaaS service management solution, simplifies Now TV's
device and app management to deliver excellent customer service, experience,
and insight into video consumption metrics for monetization. This increases
operational efficiency, helps Now TV provide high-touch customer support, and
boosts customer loyalty and monetization. The AminoOS device software enables
operators to deliver a modern viewing experience that seamlessly integrates
OTT and IPTV.

 

Donald McGarva, Aferian Group CEO, said: "As a long-standing Now TV technology
partner, we spend a lot of time talking to them so that we know exactly where
they want to be next week, next month and in one or more years' time. We knew
that Now TV needed a combination of the rock-solid user experience of pay-TV
and the user-friendly and wide choice of OTT streaming, and that's exactly
what Amino software has delivered - an exciting 'best of both world's' TV and
video service."
