Witbe Joins the Digital TV Group

January 15, 2025 14.16 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Test automation and monitoring specialist Witbe has joined the UK’s Digital TV Group (DTG).

As a DTG member, Witbe says it will share its industry expertise as the company looks to strengthen its presence in the UK market.

“We are delighted to welcome Witbe as a new member of the Digital TV Group,” said DTG CEO Richard Lindsay-Davies. “Their expertise in test automation and monitoring aligns perfectly with our mission to support innovation and excellence in UK TV delivery. At a time when the industry is navigating significant transformation, we look forward to collaborating with Witbe to ensure exceptional viewer experiences and drive value for our organizations and the wider ecosystem as we work to shape the future of TV in the UK.”

Witbe’s technology is used by major video service providers worldwide, including DTG member Channel Four.

“We are pleased to be joining the Digital TV Group,” commented Mathieu Planche, Witbe’s CEO. “DTG’s commitment to collaboration and testing in the UK television industry is perfectly aligned with the core principles of Witbe’s technology. As a new DTG member, we are excited to participate in talks about the future of UK streaming, collaborate with fellow members, and share our vast expertise shaped by over 20 years of working with providers to test and monitor their services on real devices and networks.”

Witbe recently updated its innovative Remote Eye Controller (REC) application, a virtual Network Operations Center (NOC), to make it even easier for video service providers to remotely access and control real testing devices from any web browser. With the REC, teams can verify and resolve streaming errors faster than ever before, from anywhere in the world.
