Canadian cableo SaskTel is launching maxTV Stream, which blends traditional television with advanced features and the latest over-the-top (OTT) content from Netflix and YouTube.
“The launch of maxTV Stream is yet another example of SaskTel’s drive to be an innovator and industry leader,” said Don Morgan, the minister responsible for SaskTel. “It’s this ambition that has helped SaskTel become the leading communications and entertainment provider in Saskatchewan.”
With more than 110 live channels and thousands of hours of VOD content, maxTV Stream is boosting its value with the ability to restart live TV up to 72 hours in the past, the maxTV App, and access to Netflix, YouTube, CraveTV and other OTT providers from the STB.
The remote also includes Bluetooth and voice command technology.
“With its cutting-edge technology and impressive set of features, maxTV Stream will completely transform television and entertainment in Saskatchewan,” said Doug Burnett, acting president and CEO of SaskTel . “Plus, by leveraging our expansive broadband network, we’ll be able to deliver maxTV Stream to hundreds of communities, making it more widely available than any other wireline television service in Saskatchewan.”
The service has launched in 11 rural communities and the infiNET-served neighbourhoods of Saskatchewan’s major urban centres, the company said.
