Elisa, Starman launch smart TV service in Estonia - Binge TV
Elisa and Estonia’s Starman have unveiled their first joint service.
Known as Binge, it is aimed at an estimated 200,000 households in Estonia who live outside cities and want the same smart TV viewing experience as cable TV customers.
Elisa's new Binge TV service will use Netgem's virtual set-top box features, providing a user interface bringing together local and international linear channels, seven-day catch-up and OTT services.
Binge TV also incorporates a network PVR (nPVR) for access to on-demand programming on several screens inside and outside the home, with a recommendation engine. The Netgem product integrates the Binge TV mobile app, which provides direct access to live and catch-up services.
Einari Kanerva, Head of Binge Business at Elisa, said as it expands into new countries, it wants to provide viewers with the best TV service possible, and a flexible way to expand it, once launched. By deploying Binge TV, Elisa can reach a growing population who want to watch TV footage wherever they are, and Netgem’s platform gives it "unique" flexibility to add more content and features over time.
