Austrian technology company ORS is making its multiscreen TV platform simpliTV available on Hisense smart TVs with the VIDAA operating system together with German software solutions provider 3SS.

ORS continued to rely on its long-term core technology partner 3SS to deliver this reach-extending service enhancement and enhance the user experience through a new feature created for football fans at the occasion of the European Football Championship 2024.

The highlight feature, a replay service, enables customers to re-watch game highlights even while the match is still underway or afterwards. It is expected that this innovation will especially appeal to groups of friends enjoying the match together.

The enhancement is being made available to all simpliTV users for a promotional period of two months on multiple simpliTV receiving devices: hybrid set-top boxes, Samsung, LG and Android smart TVs.

The smart TV app launched in under three months from kick-off including certification, according to 3SS. The project-critical objective, ORS’ fundamental requirement, was completion in time for the Euro 2024 football tournament, of which Hisense is gold sponsor, taking place from 14 June to 14 July 2024 in Germany.

“ORS, Hisense, VIDAA and 3SS all rolled up our sleeves and worked closely, with a high level of communication and responsiveness; with 3SS as prime integrator, and a shared focus among the partners, these innovations were delivered in the highest quality and in time to showcase the European football championship. We thank everyone involved,” said Philipp Dainese, CEO of simpliTV.

simpliTV’s 100+ channels bring together DVB broadcasting, OTT streaming and Google Play Store apps, combining digital satellite and DTT with today’s key online video features.
