Venezuela’s Simpletv taps TVUP Streaming Media for new offering

Venezuelan TV provider Simpletv has teamed up with Spanish outfit TVUP Streaming Media to launch a new streaming service Simpleplus.

Simpletv will use the TV Everywhere offering to offer more than 100 channels to its base of more than a million and a half subscribers.

Simpleplus makes it easier to access Simpletv content from any device, according to TVUP Streaming Media, which provided the technological basis for it.

Subscription customers will be able to rewatch broadcast programmes, schedule recordings in the cloud, restart live streams, or skip and rewind content.

Subscribers have access to a guide that offers personalized suggestions and daily highlights of trending content from Venezuelan television. The new streaming service from Simpletv also includes a complete guide of streaming platforms, that can be used to easily access featured movies, TV shows, and programmes from other streaming services with which they have partnerships, like Universal+, Paramount+ and Atresplayer.

The Simpleplus App can be downloaded from the main App stores intended for phone and tablet devices (Android, iOS). It is also available for Android TV devices, Google Chromecast and Fire TV. In addition, subscribers can watch all content in their web browser.

Kathy Di Battista, COO of Simpletv, said: “With Simpleplus we continue to innovate. Our heart is set to improve the service and offer the best entertainment experience to our subscribers. TVUP has been the perfect ally and its technology key to achieve this milestone.”

Eudald Domènech, CEO of TVUP Streaming Media, said: “So far, Simpleplus is one of the best projects we’ve been part of, for both the clear vision of their responsible members to offer a world-class user experience, and their leadership tackling the transition that the audiovisual sector is going through. Users are now the king, and their platform must provide them with the most convenient way to access the best content on all their devices, while also preserving their privacy in the most competitive way possible.”
