Wholesale TV channels for ISPs and telcos
Launch a TV tier without a headend project. We deliver the signals, the EPG and the DRM; you bundle them with broadband and bill your own subscribers.
What an ISP or telco gets
- Wholesale per-channel pricing you can mark up
- REST provisioning from your own BSS
- Cloud DVR and restart as upsell tiers
- SRT into your headend, or UDP multicast via our player
HOW IT WORKS IN YOUR ACCESS NETWORK
We deliver encrypted SRT to your headend from the two core sites nearest your footprint. You terminate it there and convert to UDP multicast for the access network, or you let our player appliance or playout software do the conversion in your rack. From the aggregation switch onward it is your own multicast tree, addressing and QoS.
Set-top boxes see what they expect: a multicast group per service, an MPEG transport stream with the original audio and subtitle tracks, and an EPG your middleware can import as XMLTV or JSON. No box firmware change, no new CAS on the subscriber side unless you want DRM for the app tier.
The OTT half of the proposition covers apps on phones, tablets and smart TVs, and subscribers outside your network. There the same channels are available as adaptive HLS / DASH with MultiDRM at EUR 19 per channel per month. One order covers both halves, so the guide and the recordings stay identical across screens.
Provisioning is over REST from your own BSS, so adding a channel to a package or moving a subscriber between tiers is a call your existing systems make rather than a ticket raised with us. Channel changes take effect within minutes, which is what a retail promotion cycle needs.
A TV TIER YOU CAN PRICE AND BILL YOURSELF
The economics are wholesale: EUR 150 per channel per month on SRT, EUR 200 on adaptive HLS / DASH, volume discounts from ten channels to -20%, -10% on a 12-month term and -15% on 24 months, no setup fee. You mark that up into the broadband bundle and keep the subscriber relationship, the billing and the churn data.
Upsell tiers are per channel too, so the margin is predictable: cloud DVR at EUR 29, restart at EUR 15, EPG at EUR 9. Recording stays at our core sites, which means a DVR tier costs you no storage and no capacity planning in the access network.
The channels themselves come off a headend of 1535 feeds, so a regional line-up can be assembled without licensing conversations of your own for most of it. Where a channel is not yet cleared for your territory, we quote the rights per channel instead of telling you it is impossible.
GET IT INSTANT
Order the line-up online, choose SRT, adaptive HLS / DASH or both, add EPG and DVR per channel, and endpoints are issued within 12 hours. The invoice shows the per-channel rate, so it maps directly onto your own wholesale cost model.
Before that, run the free three-day trial into a lab headend. It ships encrypted SRT and adaptive HLS / DASH together, which means one trial covers both the set-top box path and the app path, and your middleware team can import the real EPG rather than a sample.
