Android TV is Google’s operating system for connected TVs and set-top boxes. It is a well-adopted platform that offers versatility for operators to easily deliver rich, interactive content and streaming services directly to consumers and subscribers.
Over 170 hybrid broadcast and OTT operators have chosen Android TV to deliver their video services because it provides a feature-rich, turn-key solution to deliver a huge number of OTT services (VOD/SVOD/AVOD) and apps, alongside broadcast content.
