The news of OTT video growth hasn’t abated – Netflix continues to impress with earnings, Verizon reportedly has a new millennial-aimed OTT mobile-service named Go90 and recent studies have shown Latinos are far more likely to stream using OTT services than the average consumer.
This segues nicely with a company I’ve written previously about – YipTV.. A company which can do to TV what Vonage did to telephone service. In a nutshell, for $15 per month you get access to Latin American and European content which could cost you over $100 if you were to get similar service from the cable company. It isn’t quite apples to apples yet as cable companies may have a more extensive line-up of channels. Having said that, at 15% of the cost, it’s a smart way to get a taste of the international content you want but on a budget.
Now, the deal is even more of a no-brainer to try as you can get access to 17 out of its 70 channels for free for an unlimited period of time. YipTV’s free channels are comprised of leading entertainment, sports, family, music and news.
In addition, new subscribers can get access to seven premium channels free for one week.
I’ve used the service on an iPhone streaming to an HDTV via Apple TV. It looks and works great. The interface can be more intuitive – but you get used to it after a few minutes.
