VIDGO has been creating a lot of buzz in the entertainment
industry with its amazing offers, which appear too good to be true. Recently,
at Las Vegas CES (Consumer Electronics Show) they were new entrants into the
OTT (Over-The-Top) service for 2016. The streaming service has plans to provide
its services across the country by the end of this year, in steps starting from
15 of the chosen cities. They claim to combine cable television, live
television and on-demand video programming in one single service. We do know
that all of this is a lot to promise.
In 2015, there was a proposal at the FCC to redefine some
of the OVDs as MVPD (Multiple Video Programming). This move can be a complete
game changer for the industry. The existing players know this.
Since the service combines the existing on-demand video
programs with live television and cable television, it is already being hailed
as the perfect entertainment solution for everyone. No, this is not a dream. In
fact, VIDGO’s CEO Robert Kostensky announced this himself. There is not much
information available on the size of the digital library with VIDGO, but the
Kostensky assured the consumers that their VOD content will also include the
latest blockbusters.
VIDGO is set to offer local channels, national channels,
sport channel, international channels, premium channel, and what not. They also
claim to be the lowest cost solution to deliver the extensive content online.
The online streaming service will offer three competitive packages to their
subscribers. This feature will help to choose the required channels.
VIDGO also offers to stream hundreds of channels in every package.
Entertainment will have a new definition with VIDGO.
VIDGO’s offers multi-device simultaneous streaming. Whether
you are at home or on-go, you can simply login for entertainment, and all you
need to access the content is a 4G or a Wi-Fi connection. VIDGO’s user
interface is simple and friendly too. They have a ‘favorites’ menu bar, which
will give you quick access to your most viewed channels. The best part is that
VIDGO will work on all streaming platforms such as tablets, smart phones and smart TVs. Undoubtedly, VIDGO
will offer the best comprehensive content.
VIDGO is yet to hit the US market. The initial launch has
been slated for only 12 US cities within the next few months. By the end of
2016, the company hopes to spread across the entire country. By the second
quarter of 2016, consumers from a few cities like New York, Los Angeles, New
York, Atlanta, and others will be able to sign up. The pricing and the channel
details will soon be announced.
