NexTV and ONStv Announce Video on Demand and Pay-per-View Solution for South Africans Living Abroad
Sydney, NSW Australia (PRWEB) September 18, 2013 -- NexTV and ONStv announced today a VOD and pay-per-view solution for South Africans living abroad. Viewers from South Africa living or traveling outside their homeland can now watch their favorite television programs via a device as small as a USB stick. Viewers simply plug the device into their TV sets and are able to access the latest and greatest shows from South Africa.
Henning Basson, director of ONStv Media stated, "There are approximately one million South Africans living abroad, and with the development of this HDMI dongle that simply plugs into the customer's TV set, it has never been easier for viewers to enjoy their favorite programming, no matter where they are. Programming will be in English and Afrikaans (with English subtitles) and includes music videos, religious programming, and the latest news and sports."
"A great deal of software development was necessary to build this solution for OnStv," said Mark Lobwein, CEO of NexTV Australia. "With the HDMI stick, viewers can easily access content from their homeland. We have worked very closely with the development team at Tulix Systems and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. The system is fully animated from start to finish and includes a turnkey solution for billing and customer care. We are thrilled to be working with ONStv on this project."
