Accedo powers OTT, cloud DVR for Telecable

Spain's regional fibre operator, Telecable, has launched the latest version of its interactive platform Tedi, including an over-the-top (OTT) and cloud-based DVR service powered by Sweden's Accedo.

Subscribers across Spain's northern region of Asturias can now access Tedi via a dedicated set-top box, or via the iOS or Android apps, which extend DVR capabilities to mobile phones.

The Tedi service is free to customers and includes hundreds of programmes and complete series, including a wide range of high definition (HD) video-on-demand (VOD) content. Customers are also able to make multiple simultaneous recordings, as well as scheduling programmes to be recorded ahead of time.

"It was important for us to not only give our customers a wide selection of content on a range of devices, but also to make discovering our linear content easy and intuitive through cloud DVR capabilities," commented Jesús Pérez, CTO, Telecable. "Having worked with Accedo on previous versions, we were confident it could help us to achieve that."

"The Tedi service has already proved to be one of the most innovative OTT service across Spain," commented Jerónimo Macanás, VP, Latin America and Southern Europe, Accedo. "Extending it with these cloud DVR capabilities is giving customers even more control over their viewing experience, all presented in an easy-to-use user interface, whichever device they are using."
