Noida, India, 13 September 2024
Dish TV India Limited, a leader in the Indian content distribution market with direct-to-home (DTH) television and OTT platforms, is proud to announce a significant milestone in its service offerings. In collaboration with TiViCon, a broadcast technology company, Dish TV is introducing a DTH TV dongle for Android TV devices, one of the first of its kind in the industry.
With over 12 million subscribers, Dish TV India has been a frontrunner in delivering entertainment across many genres throughout the country. Its network covers more than 9,450 cities and towns in India, with a share of over 20% of the Indian satellite TV market. Its commitment to customers shows in its wide network of service centers and franchisees across the country.
TiViCon works on turning traditional TV viewing into flexible, user-centric entertainment. By combining modern technology with traditional broadcasting, TiViCon has helped lead the shift towards more adaptive and accessible TV.
TiViCon's vision, "TV is not a set-top box anymore, it's an app", matches what viewers expect today. It drives the company's work to make television more flexible, intuitive and suited to the way people watch now.
The Pay TV dongle developed by TiViCon, integrated with Dish TV's satellite network, puts this vision into practice. Customers get DTH channels and OTT streams together on their Android TV devices, in one easy viewing experience. The dongle provides a high level of content security and conditional access.
"We are excited to collaborate with Dish TV to bring this innovation to the Indian market. Our approach to simplifying broadcast operators' entry into the smart world aligns perfectly with Dish TV's vision. This Plug and Play DTH TV Dongle solution is not just about providing a TV app; it's about setting new standards, monetization capabilities, and exploring new business avenues in both home and hospitality sectors. We are honored to have the CEO of Dish TV, Mr. Manoj Dobhal, presenting a live demo of this innovative platform in front of our friends and partners at the IBC show."
The platform was demonstrated at the IBC show in Amsterdam from 13 to 16 September 2024, on the TiViCon and Nagravision stands. Mr. Manoj Dobhal presented the demo on Saturday, 14 September.
