All TV channels in one app: ProSiebenSat.1 launches 7TV
Munich, 2 June 2014. Finally, one app that
covers everything. The new 7TV app, designed and implemented by
ProSiebenSat.1 Digital, means that, for the first time, users can
access current programmes being aired by ProSieben, SAT.1,
kabeleins, sixx, SAT.1 Gold and ProSieben Maxx in just one mobile
application. Its special feature is that almost all TV shows
broadcast by these channels can be retrieved via tablets and
smartphones, both live and time-delayed. Whether users have missed
the latest episode of their favourite show on free TV or they are
trying to live stream that evening's blockbuster when out and about
- 7TV gives serial and TV fans access to their favourite programmes
and series anytime and anywhere. Under its newly created umbrella
brand 7TV, ProSiebenSat.1 Digital has brought together the
programme schedules of all six free TV channels in the Group, thus
providing users with the most comprehensive media library in
Germany.
Entertainment around-the-clock
A new dimension in digital entertainment has been opened up to
users. With regard to live TV, the programmes of all six TV
channels are simultaneously streamed for TV broadcasting. A
programme guide provides a 3-week overview with information about
the programmes. In the media libraries, fans will find many shows
available for 7 days after they have aired, as on-demand content in
the 7 Day Catch-Up. Various functions such as "Favourites" enable
personalized and convenient access to viewers' favourite content
and users can share videos easily and quickly on Twitter and
Facebook. The "Watch Later" feature is especially handy, allowing
users to keep track of which programmes they want to watch later so
giving them their very own TV schedule!
Markan Karajica, Chairman of the Management Board of
ProSiebenSat.1 Digital, said: "Moving images are fascinating - on
all channels. With the 7TV app, we are giving our users a unique
channel to access our wide range of entertainment products. With
the mix of live and on-demand content, we have redefined the static
world of apps and created a dynamic link to the wide range of
content offered by our channels."
This new 7TV app is now available for iOS, Android and Windows
8. To retrieve it, users need an internet connection (WiFi, LTE or
3G). It is free to download the app and access the media library.
After a free trial period of 30 days, live streaming costs EUR 2.99
a month.
