Berlin/Zurich, April 3, 2024 - Vereinigte Stadtwerke, the successful regional energy network operator, from Bad Oldesloe in Northern Germany will be launching their white-label end-to-end TV service VS Media IPTV with Zattoo. The company joined Swiss Zattoo's leading European TV-as-a-service platform with to date over 30 mostly white-label end-to-end customers across the continent.
VS Media IPTV will bring over 130 TV channels in SD and HD quality, including 4 foreign language, one Family HD and a Premium HD package to subscribers in the German federal states of Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern via Zattoo's new Strong HP44H set-top box, Android Mobile, iOS, Web Client and Amazon Fire TV. The service will include non-linear features such as nPVR, Instant Restart, a 7-days catch-up, yet offering different setups per channel, besides 14 FAST channels. The offering is available in two variants: A basic package, containing live and public TV channels in HD besides private channels in SD in two concurrent streams. Besides this, a premium package will feature non-linear TV options with 10 hours of recording included plus also private channels in HD in up to 5 concurrent streams. Also available are add-on packages, providing 100 or 200 hours of recording, Premium HD, Family HD and additional language packages. In addition, the new TV service will enable subscribers of Vereinigte Stadtwerke to log in securely via serial number to their set-top box and allow the operator to provide them faster and improved service via Zattoo's Bridge offering.
"Our strategic partnership with Vereinigte Stadtwerke is a successful example of fast and effective collaboration between our customers, our content partners and Zattoo ", said Jörg Meyer, Chief Commercial Officer at Zattoo. "In the ongoing development of our TV-as-a-Service platform, we are focusing on new technologies that allow regional providers to grow quickly and in a particularly customer-friendly way in highly competitive markets all over Europe. With this, a supposedly ‘small’ provider like Vereinigte Stadtwerke can join the fastly growing ranks of FAST channels offerings inside of a state-of-the-art end-to-end white-label offering."
