simpliTV App wins VideoTech Innovation Award 2021
The "VideoTech Innovation Award" is presented annually by the leading European trade publisher „Digital TV Europe", based in London, in various categories and is considered particularly sought-after in the international TV and video industry. The simpliTV app was awarded as TV app in the category "OTT TV Technology of the year".
The jury described the TV app as the "clear front-runner in this award category", which was "not only technically innovative, but also contributed to an outstanding customer experience". For more than two years, the app was implemented by simpliTV together with the company 3 Screen Solutions (3SS). The award ceremony took place on November the 26th in Westminster in London.
TV app opens up the world of innovative television
simpliTV launched the innovative TV app in the first half of the year. The aim is to use the technology to provide even easier access to television entertainment on SmartTV. The simpliTV app combines the quality of classic broadcast television with the new functions of streaming technology. Thus, TV users can not only consume traditional TV via antenna and satellite, but also use all the functions from the streaming world: 7-day replay, start-stop, restart, recording and many more. In addition to live TV, content from a wide range of media libraries can also be accessed via the simpliTV app.
The user interface of the app is optimised for the TV screen and offers an intuitive navigation as well as an intelligent search for past programmes, specific content or certain genres. "This important award is a wonderful Christmas present for the entire simpliTV team and an international recognition for the high innovation culture of the ORS Group," ORS spokesman Michael Weber is pleased to say.
