WatzMeNow

The launch date of WatzMeNow has finally been revealed; the service is set to launch within the next 17 days. Which makes the very last possible date: February 3rd, 2014.

WatzMeNow is the new Danish TV-provider to revolutionize the way that we consume TV in Denmark. Instead of receiving your signal through the relatively old ways, such as cable, antenna, and through a local internet connection; WatzMeNow is all about simplicity, ease-of-use, and availability. More specifically you might think of the service as a Spotify, or Netflix for live flow TV.

The service will be available directly in the browser on your computer, or through apps developed for Android, and iOS. Furthermore, the team behind WatzMeNow has also set an HDMI TV-dongle to be released soon, which will run the newest version of Android, and have the “WatzMeNow”-app pre-loaded.

The first time I heard about this service, and the dongle was back in October 2013, where I visited the “ITCOM / ICTE”-education, at the Aalborg University Copenhagen. Back then the app was showcased on an iPad, and the Android HDMI-dongle was sent around in a box, together with a nice and convenient remote control.

I have long been waiting for this moment to come, partly because I have followed how the Swedish substitute, called “Magine” has become a success locally in Sweden, since the launch in 2011. The Magine TV-service currently has 40 live channels, where 32 of those support Play-features, such as rewind, start over, etc. The price of all of this is set to 99 SEK (~ 84 DKK / 11,25 EUR / 15,32 USD) per month, wheres the first month is free, without ties and fees, similar to the most other online streaming / On-Demand services.

Stay tuned for more updates on this service, and make sure to visit the official website, at http://watzmenow.tv, and subscribe to the email reminder list.
