Motive Releases TabletTV App for Apple TV in the U. S.
First to provide viewing of broadcast network channels on the
Apple TV platform
On 14 September, Motive Television PLC, the technology provider
to broadcasters and pay television operators, announced its
intention to make TabletTV available on the new Apple TV platform
in the United States, United Kingdom, and throughout the world.
Today, Motive is pleased to announce that it has received
approval from Apple for its App and released it for sale and use on
the Apple TV platform.
The TabletTV App for Apple TV will enable users who have TPod
tuner antennas in the United States to download the Apple TV
version of the App from the Apple TV store, and use their TPod to
watch available over-the-air networks and local channels on their
main televisions via Apple TV. These channels are not otherwise
viewable on the Apple TV platform and contain much of the most
popular entertainment, sports, and information content in the
United States market.
Future updates to the newest member of the TabletTV family will
add additional functionalities and added features found in TabletTV
US for mobile devices. Users of TabletTV in the United States will
be able to download the Apple TV version of the App without
additional cost, whereas new users will need to buy a TPod
antenna/tuner to use the service.
TabletTV Plus already provides the ability to easily transfer
what is on the tablet screen and all its features to view on the
main TV through the use of Airplay and Apple TV. However, the new
Apple TV version of Motive's App will not require the use of a
tablet to watch on the large screen.
The new App is available for Apple TV in the United States only
and versions for the UK and other markets will be released in the
near future.
Leonard M Fertig, CEO of Motive commented, "We are aware that a
number of companies are hard at work to create Apps and reception
devices that make it possible to view broadcast network channels on
the Apple TV platform. It is a notable accomplishment that Motive
is the first to do so based on our leading technology."
