SERAPHIC Freeview Play solution scales in the UK.

SERAPHIC, the global leader of digital TV browser solutions, enables a renowned major TV brand to massively deploy fabulous and affordable smart TVs in the UK, by providing SERAPHIC’s HbbTV 2-based Freeview Play solution.

Freeview Play, based on the latest HbbTV 2 technology, has gradually become the largest hybrid TV platform in the UK. It combines catch up and on demand services with live TV channels to present a fantastic user experience for audiences.

By leveraging its solid HTML5 technology base, SERAPHIC and the device manufactures jointly pass the quite challenging compliance of Freeview Play and deliver a fantastic user experience for the audiences.

Freeview Play TVs are attracting viewers back to TV, which lays the groundwork to discover added value of the big screens and contribute to the whole industry ecosystem. UK consumers now can enjoy the hottest programmes from Freeview Play’s 70 digital channels and 15 HD channels, for instance, Love, Lies & Records from BBC iPlayer, or Tipping Point from ITV, on their Freeview Play smart TVs. What’s more, via Freeview Explore they could search for programmemes by genre or programmeme name and browse recommendations based on their viewing habits. Catch up and VOD (Video on Demand) services are also available.

Ye Wang, CEO of SERAPHIC, said, “We are excited to play a positive role as part of the overwhelming HbbTV trend and navigate our market-proven Freeview Play solution, bringing colorful fun for UK consumers. HbbTV 2 technology brings incompatible viewing experience for consumers and opens up new business opportunities to dig on the big screens. It is shaping the new era of smart TV industry and we firmly believe in a great breakthrough in 2018.”
