GlobeCast has released a MyGlobeTV app to be accessed on any internet-connected device.
MyGlobeTV is a consumer television service available in the US that delivers a broad range of international and genre-based audiovisual content from around the world directly to subscribers via broadband. Content available on the platform currently includes Portuguese-language, French African, and Romanian packages, as well as several thematic channels.
“Television today is being consumed on all devices — it’s time for international content to catch up,” said Lisa Coelho, CEO of GlobeCast Americas.
“Whether viewers are Nollywood fans, martial arts enthusiasts, enjoy fashion, or are simply avid followers of international television, MyGlobeTV now allows them to enjoy their passion for this content anywhere.”
The MyGlobeTV app supports all major mobile platforms including Apple OS X and iOS, Android, as well as all main browsers including Internet Explorer®, Firefox®, Safari®, and Chrome. Using Apple AirPlay, MyGlobeTV subscribers can stream content to their iOS devices.
The app for MyGlobeTV includes many enhanced features of traditional pay-TV platforms, including an advanced EPG that can be accessed while watching programmes, as well as the ability to pause live TV for up to two hours. The app also provides a multilanguage interface in English, French, Portuguese, and Romanian, as well as HDMI output capabilities.
Users can register up to eight devices per account and can view content simultaneously on two devices. Data usage can also be controlled using high-speed and low-speed modes.
