TabletTV Plus to launch in US this quarter

Motive Television and Granite Broadcasting Corporation’s joint venture, Tablet TV, will launch the TabletTV Plus app in the US in the middle of this quarter.

The mobile TV application lets viewers watch broadcast and internet TV channels and access a mobile PVR for time-shifted viewing.

The app includes Chromecast support, lets users simultaneously surf the web while watching TV and will initially be available in the US for iOS devices with an Android release to follow at a later date.

“We are excited to bring TabletTV Plus to the market, an innovative App that enhances our offering and provides additional content to viewers,” said TabletTV’s Luc Tomasino.

“Through our single TabletTV Plus App, viewers will be able to access virtually every channel they want, regardless of whether it is free over-the-air like NBC or Fox, or delivered over-the-top via [the] internet such as ESPN, HBO GO, YouTube or Sling TV.”
