German mobile network operator Telefónica Deutschland has launched a live TV app for smartphones and tablets available to the customers of its o2 brand.
The o2 TV & video app is technically and editorially based on the OTT platform TV Spielfilm live launched by German publishing house Hubert Burda Media in July 2015.
The app is available for Android and soon for iOS and can be used both using Wi-Fi and the mobile network. Through Google Chromecast und AirPlay, the content can be streamed to the TV set.
Like at TV Spielfilm live, o2 customers can access more than 50 TV channels in the free-of-charge basic package. By signing up for the premium package for €9.99 per month, the line-up rises to over 70 channels, more than 30 of them in HD quality.
TV Spielfilm live which is operated in collaboration with Swiss internet TV provider Zattoo meanwhile reports more than one million registered users. As the next step, a solution for time-shifted TV viewing will be implemented.
