NTV+ launches multiroom offering and updates Apple TV app

Russian pay TV operator NTV+ has launched a new multiroom service for satellite TV customers, enabling users to watch different channels simultaneously on multiple TVs.

NTV+ said that the service was aimed at both new and existing subscribers. To take advantage, customers will need to purchase either an additional receiver or a CAM module, for which they will receive a free smartcard for each connected screen.

Subscribers will be able to connect up to three TV sets to one satellite dish within a single household. They will be able to view the same set of channels with a discount of 25% for two TV sets and 30% for three sets.

NTV+ has also updated its app for Apple TV boxes, making sports highlights available to Apple TV users.

The broadcaster initially launched its app for Apple TV this April, enabling users to subscribe to its factual, movie, kids and sports package.

The pay TV operator said it planed to make its premium VOD service Amediateka: Home of HBO available to Apple TV users.

NTV+ has also launched an online store, enabling existing and potential customers to buy equipment, choose a distribution technology and order an installation online, paying by card online or in cash when the order is fulfilled.
