Aferian plc (LSE AIM: AFRN), the B2B video streaming solutions company, today announces that Amino has collaborated with Now TV, the leading pay-TV service in Hong Kong and the media entertainment arm of HKT, Hong Kong's premier telecommunications service provider and a leading innovator, to integrate its pioneering IPTV service with popular OTT services such as HBO GO and Netflix.

 

Mr Derek Choi, Managing Director, HKT Home, said, "We are thrilled to introduce Now H1 to families in Hong Kong. By converging the TV and OTT worlds, Amino has helped Now H1 redefine the viewing experience for Hong Kong consumers by providing a modern Android TV user experience that combines Now TV content with preloaded OTT services such as HBO GO, ViuTV, Viu, Netflix, Red Bull TV and Deutsche Welle."

We knew that Now TV needed a combination of the rock-solid user experience of pay-TV and the user-friendly and wide choice of OTT streaming, and that's exactly what Amino software has delivered - an exciting 'best of both world's' TV and video service."
