Fight for control of the TV screen intensifies
What was once the domain of pay-TV operators is now coveted by TV manufacturers, platform players, and streaming apps. Are your customers keeping your service on Input 1 on their TVs?
Native apps can turn into technical and operational headaches
Developing and maintaining native apps can lead to high ongoing costs since various versions of the same application across various platforms and updates are regularly to fix bugs and glitches. Is maintaining native apps not as simple as you expected?
Online video consumption not always simple
Connecting the Smart TV to the internet is required not only to download the app on the TV but also to consume content online. Consumers must find the app, go through the terms & conditions and then go with the download process which can be lengthy or fail. Are you customer frustrated?
