VisionTV is now available through both HbbTV and MHEG apps. The HbbTV app was added to its Freeview channel earlier this month.
Last October, the DTG D-Book mandated the inclusion of HbbTV on the UK’s terrestrial platform for the first time and the technology is increasingly used by broadcasters for interactive applications.
Vision TV offers a gateway to further channels that are not found within Freeview’s terrestrial multiplexes.
“More than 18 million UK households access TV via Freeview, and this new development and evolution for VisionTV as an HbbTV App is a significant development and illustrates our commitment to meeting the changing media consumption needs of both our clients and viewers as well as keeping abreast with industry standards and technology,” said Doris Ojo, CEO, Vision247 Limited.
Channels include That’s TV, Spotlight, SportyStuff, CGTN, News Max, France24, Arise News, and much more Entertainment, News, Sports, Shopping, Christian and International channels. To access VisionTV via Freeview, viewers require a TV aerial and a compatible Smart TV or box connecting to the internet.
