Atlanta, March 20, 2013: YuppTV, one of the world’s largest Internet TV providers,
today announced the launch of its first ‘YuppTV Dongle’ in
USA for South Asians away from home.
The YuppTV dongle is a revolutionary
device especially for the expatriate Indians who want access to home grown
content. It is a small, 1080p, Wi-Fi streaming player which enables Indian
expats to watch their favorite Indian TV Channels live, video on demand, TV shows
with back to back episodes, Bollywood movies and a wide range of regional
movies
This dongle is connected into the
HDMI port of a television set. This feature converts a standard tv set into a
smart tv. This allows the viewer to be able to access a variety of content on
his television. With YuppTV dongle, users can watch 150+ Indian TV Channels
Live or as VOD available in 11 Indian languages: Hindi, Tamil, Telugu,
Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, Oriya, Gujarathi and Bhojpuri
YuppTV Dongle has been launched in the
USA bundled at no cost to customer for three month six month and yearly subscription
packages. The cost is significantly lower than buying a smart tv to access
those features.
One
of the USPs of the dongle is its portability. Users can now stream video,
listen to music, get the latest news or check the latest Facebook feeds at home
on their big screen TV.
They can also take all of that content on the move by simply carrying the
dongle in their pocket, and then plug it into the HDMI port of a TV at their
work place or hotel. The dongle also has a memory card slot for sharing videos,
photos or music files on the tv screen.
For
those wishing to access internet content on their television sets, the YuppTV
dongle, like any smart tv offers them access to check emails and surf the
internet on their television set itself. The customer can connect on Facebook
and Twitter just with the help of the small and sleek YuppTV dongle.
In keeping with its commitment to innovation and
accessible content, YuppTV is coming up with 2nd screen experience
for its users. Customers would be able to browse the content on their
phone/tablets and play them over Wi-Fi onto their TV screen. Upcoming updates
would also enable the consumer to convert old audio systems to smart audio
systems by connecting this dongle to it. The customer can play music, photos
and videos on legacy audio / video receiver using android phone/tablets or
iphone/ipad.
Announcing
the launch of the tv dongle, Mr. Uday Reddy,
Founder and CEO of YuppTV, said, “We at YuppTV believe in being at
the forefront of the technology space, and this product has the potential to
revolutionise the way TV is viewed across the US. YuppTV dongle is easy to use
and transforms an ordinary TV into a smart TV. This dongle can be used by
people of all generations: youngsters can use it to listen to music or access
trendy platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, while the elders in a family can
surf any website or watch YuppTV for
news, entertainment and devotional channels. We would be launching second
screen experience with future updates very soon and would change the way TV can
be watched.
YuppTV
launched this device to its loyal customers because of the impact it had with
one of the streaming partner’s business decision to tie up exclusively with one
the major South Asian TV service provider in USA.
YuppTV
Dongle would soon be released globally, with focus on markets like India, UK,
Europe, Canada and Australia.
