Christian Jaros, VP of entertainment at Magenta Telekom, said: “When launching our new streaming service, we wanted to provide a state-of-the-art experience for subscribers, giving them access to all of their favourite TV shows anytime, anywhere, on any device. Broadpeak’s solution is easy to deploy and scalable, enabling us to bring cloud time-shift, start-over TV, catch-up TV, and PVR services to our customers, without deploying new hardware in their homes.”

We are very proud of our collaboration with Magenta Telekom and we strongly believe this deployment will serve as an excellent blueprint for how to successfully launch Cloud PVR services.”
