Hubee has been selected by French SVOD pioneer FilmoTV to launch its movie on-demand platform on Orange Freebox, the largest IPTV provider in the country.
Hubee is a specialist in on-demand TV, multiscreen distribution VOD, catch-up TV and interactive services. It designs, develops and operates video distribution platforms for over 80 clients in the French digital media market including Canal+, France Télévisions, Free, Bouygues Telecom, Orange, Disney, Samsung, LG, M6, Turner and MTV.

The deal with FilmoTV sees the two firms consolidate their relationship that first began in 2011 with the release of the FilmoTV VOD/SVOD offer on Samsung, LG and Philips TVs, as well as the hosting of an need-to-end platform encompassing online video, connected TV, companion devices and game consoles.

With the new set up, FilmoTV customers can watch their paid content by stopping playback on one FilmoTV platform and then resuming playback on another. The service’s recommendations engine has increased suggestions by offering a list of films based on previous user viewing and the offer also integrates HDTV formats and multilingual versions.
