ViXS Systems Inc. announced their collaboration with MaxLinear, Morega Systems and GEIC on a Dual Tuner Over-the-Air Streaming OEM Ready solution called 'EasyOTA'. The 'EasyOTA' streaming solution is a new design with an easy to use user interface that converts ATSC OTA signals and transforms them to an Internet Protocol format that can be viewed on a variety of multimedia devices such as smart phones, tablets and Over-the-Top media players. The 'EasyOTA' product is available for orders now with samples available in first quarter 2017 and production in second quarter 2017. The 'EasyOTA' solution provides an easy and seamless way for everyday consumers to view up to 150+ channels of free broadcast video content on their existing home media devices. With no contracts to sign, consumers will have access to their favorite TV shows, local news and sports using the 'EasyOTA' Dual solution. When bundled with Internet and streaming services like SlingTV, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu, consumers now have access to additional premium video and TV show content, making the overall solution a cost effective alternative to existing subscriber based services. Most TV viewers watch between 10-12 channels the majority of the time. With over 50% of those channels being available via OTA, and when combined with existing OTT services, the 'EasyOTA' solution becomes a must-have for cord cutters.
