ProSiebenSat.1's VOD services to launch at Entertain

Jörn Krieger | 27-02-2014

German telco Deutsche Telekom will add the video-on-demand (VOD) services operated by TV group ProSiebenSat.1 to its IPTV platform Entertain in spring 2014.

The agreement covers the online video library maxdome and catch-up services from commercial channels Sat.1, ProSieben, kabel eins, sixx, Sat.1 Gold and ProSieben Maxx.

Via the catch-up services viewers can watch over 1,000 full-length programmes after their TV broadcast free of charge, while maxdome offers movies, series, documentaries and children's shows for a fee.

Telekom will integrate maxdome as an app into Entertain's Medienwelt (media world) section. Customers will be able to sign up for the maxdome subscription package which costs €7.99 per month, but won't be able to pick individual titles for a single fee. This possibility will continue to be offered by Telekom's own online video library Videoload.

In the future, Entertain customers will also be able to view content from the media libraries of the six TV stations ProSieben, SAT.1, kabel eins, sixx, SAT.1 Gold and ProSieben MAXX.
