[SatNews] Entone, Inc., a provider of Cloud TV and Connected Home solutions, and Zappware, an end-to-end DVB/IPTV/OTT platform provider, announces the availability of the Zappware platform on Entone’s family of Hybrid TV devices. This fully integrated solution offers service providers a more flexible and enhanced Hybrid TV experience that blends broadcast TV and cloud services.

The Zappware Platform provides an intuitive and personalized multi-screen TV experience across all devices, combined with a unified Service Delivery System to fully monetize all TV services on broadcast, broadband and hybrid networks.

“With this integration we again show our commitment to make the Zappware platform available on the best devices in the market.
