TVPlayer launches on Xbox

April 7, 2017 11.20 Europe/London By Julian Clover

TVPlayer is to make itself available through games consoles.

The channel aggregator has launched on both Xbox One and Xbox S. Users will have access to over 100 live and on demand channels. TVPlayer Plus will then offer a further 25 premium channels for a monthly £5.99. This include Discovery Channel, TLC, Eurosport 1 and History. A catch-up service is also available.

Rob Hodgkinson, Chief Operating Officer of TVPlayer, said: “We are pleased to announce that our fast-growing audience will now be able to enjoy our premium content on the Xbox. Games consoles, which generate over a third of all video views, represent a key pillar in our platform strategy. Xbox is the first games console to launch with TVPlayer and we anticipate further launches over the coming months.”

Since being founded in 2014, TVPlayer can boast over 1 million active users and over 3 million app downloads in the UK. The TV viewing platform is already available across a range of devices, including desktop, iOS, Android, Windows 10, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV and Samsung TV.
