Freesat plans launch on IDTVs

Emma Scott, managing director of Freesat, has announced that the service is soon to be launching on Internet Digital TVs (IDTVs).

Speaking at the Westminster Media Forum’s Prospects for the UK television market event, the innovation comes less than two months after Freesat’s launch of its companion app, which Scott revealed had been downloaded over 130,000 times in its first fortnight.

Freesat’s companion app has been shortlisted in the Best Technology category at next week’s Connected Consumer Awards. The results will be announced after day two of the Connected Consumer conference.
