Insight 1/4: Managed Platforms

Every second German household uses a cable or IPTV platform for linear TV consumption. So Vodafone, Sky, and Deutsche Telekom are highly attractive partners to provide TV applications. And they have only just begun to leverage the potential of TV apps – exciting times ahead!

Here is the first of four videos with key insights from our whitepaper, „TV App Platforms in Germany 2020.“


Insight 2/4: Smart TV Platforms

2 of 3 households own a smart TV, which is a great way to maximize the reach of your video service. You are probably aware that Samsung is the market leader, but would you have guessed who has the second highest technical reach in Germany? Find out at time code 1:50 in this video.

This is the second of four videos with key insights from our whitepaper "TV App platforms in Germany 2020."


Insight 3/4: HbbTV

TV app platforms are provided and controlled by companies like Google, Samsung, or Amazon. But if you are a broadcaster then HbbTV is another option to reach every second German TV household: an open standard without any platform gatekeepers.
