What is ChannelBTV?
ChannelBTV is for USA OTA broadcast TV stations/channels who want a simple channel app so new and existing viewers can watch your channel 'live' simultaneous with the OTA broadcast on any device, anytime, anywhere*. This is only for OTA TV stations/channels NOT located in an existing LocalBTV market/DMA who enter into an agreement with Didja. The valuable LocalBTV platform is provided as-is, thus your channel app will look like a one (or several) channel version of LocalBTV.
What's included?
-
Viewers can watch your live OTA broadcast on all major phone, tablets, connected devices (Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV) and web browsers.
-
Easy-to-use Cloud DVR
-
Limited branding
-
Promote your website (or anything else) using In-app promo links
-
Viewing reports
-
*Geo-fencing to your TV market/DMA as required.
-
Unlimited viewer downloads but only 5,000 can watch at same time
unless a monthly fee is added to support more simultaneous users.
What else is key to know?
-
On-demand (VOD) library is not supported. Just DVR.
-
The app icon on viewers phone or in app stores will be 'LocalBTV' not your logo
-
Under some circumstances more than one channel from the same TV DMA will be included in the same ChannelBTV app. With branding for all.
-
While we may add a few 'bells & whistles' to this option, Didja does NOT do custom apps. Many good companies exist for that if a truly custom app is desired.
