Movistar Video ‘TV everywhere’ service goes live in Colombia

Movistar Colombia has launched Movistar Video, a ‘TV everywhere’ service targeting mobile video consumers across the country. The new platform enables users to watch live content from five channels, namely Cablenoticias, ET-Canal El Tiempo, TyC Sports, Hola TV and the BBC, and also includes a 1,600-strong video-on-demand (VoD) catalogue, comprising films, series and documentaries. Movistar Video will reportedly also allow each user to connect up to five devices – including smartphones, tablets and computers – with the same log-in credentials, allowing simultaneous play on two devices. After being made available free of charge for the first month, the service will be priced at COP9,900 (USD3.9) for existing pay-TV subscribers, or COP15,900 for new subscribers.
