SPI launches revamped Film1 app

Film1, the Dutch premium movies service owned by SPI, has announced the launch of a new streaming app.

The new app presents a dynamic OTT infrastructure that allows customisation and updates, along with UI improvements for a better experience on web, iOS and Android and single-sign-on capability. 

In addition, the Film1 app on Ziggo set-top-boxes has been updated to the latest Metrological Lightning technology, while the company has also launched the Film1 app on Samsung and LG Smart TVs and connected devices running Android TV and Apple TV.

Haymi Behar, CMO & CDO at SPI International, said: “Film1 combines the linear and on-demand viewing experiences with its four linear channels and streaming services, making it a highly-sought after partner for operators to  enrich their content offerings. We have recently migrated our Film1 app platform from the legacy provider to the new TV2Z platform that also hosts FilmBox+ and Dizi apps. With this migration, we aim to provide both the end-user and our operator partners with an appealing curation of content that is easier to access with a clean design that is more comfortable to navigate.

“The aggregation of quality content in one place makes finding a good movie to watch much easier, eliminating choice stress for the audience. We will also be adding iDEAL as a payment method very soon which enables subscribers to pay for the service online through their own bank without having to provide any credit card information.”
