Claiming to be breaking a mould for TV, New England communications provider Consolidated Communications has launched a new service that it says provides programming to customers when they want it, where they want it and how they want it.
Building upon more than 15 years’ experience in delivering TV and home entertainment solutions, the new CCiTV offers the provider's customers in Portland, Augusta and Lewiston, Maine a customisable, cloud-enabled TV experience that supports individual preferences and viewing recommendations. It can be delivered in high-definition quality to a big-screen TV, as well as to tablets and mobile devices through compatibility with a variety of Apple iOS-, Amazon- and Android-supported devices.This next-generation viewing experience provides customers with the ultimate control of how, where and when they view television content.
It promises to provide ‘next-generation’ advancements in viewing, including restart/replay TV, voice-activated remote controls, high definition with 4K compatibility and cloud-based DVR storage to enable viewing of content anytime, anywhere.
The service will also supply viewing content from nearly 200 live US local, national and premium channels. CCiTV will deliver content from popular network groups, such as A+E, Crown Media Family, Disney and ESPN Media, FOX, HBO, Turner, Viacom, local broadcast channels and regional sports networks among others.
“CCiTV...is a streamlined service that removes the two biggest pain points customers experience when dealing with traditional providers: weather-related outages and never-ending fees on the bill,” said Rob Koester, vice president of consumer product management at Consolidated Communications. “Everything is included in one easy-to-use, highly reliable package.”
