THE ANDROID TV OPERATOR TIER LAUNCHER: OPERATOR-DRIVEN USER EXPERIENCE

January 31, 2018

The disparity between the set-top-box (STB) user interface and that of OTT and mobile devices has always challenged the ability of Pay TV operators to truly offer a dynamic, multi-screen video experience.

Now going mainstream, the platform is changing the game for Pay TV operators, providing them with the flexibility to replace the default Google application launcher with their own custom or product-based UI and creating the opportunity to prioritise their own content over that of third parties in all aspects of the experience.
