MONTRÉAL, May 26, 2015 /CNW
Telbec/ - Bell today launched the Fibe TV app, a revolutionary
new way to watch Canada's best television service. Recreating the
full Fibe TV experience on any screen, with access to hundreds of
live channels at home or on the go, and over 7,000 hours of
on-demand programming, the Fibe TV app is available to all Bell
Fibe TV customers as a free iOS and Android download starting
today.
"The Fibe TV app truly changes the game in television by
bringing the full power of the Fibe experience to your mobile
devices," said Rizwan Jamal,
President of Bell Residential Services. "With more channels than
any other app and a feature-rich, easy-to-use interface, the Fibe
TV app means watching television just got better."
With the app, Bell Fibe TV customers can watch broadcast or
on-demand content on a smartphone or tablet and switch to viewing
on their TV set with the tap of a button. The app also doubles as a
remote control, providing access to the Fibe TV programming guide
and the ability to manage recordings at home or on the go. Other
features include integrated Rotten Tomatoes ratings, filters
to easily select content, favourite channel setting, parental
controls and more.
In addition to smartphones and tablets, Bell customers can use
the Fibe TV app on the Apple Watch to control their television,
navigating the menu, selecting a channel from the favourites list,
or calling up the on-demand store, guide or PVR. Fibe TV customers
can also start, pause and record a program, skip back and skip
forward, and change channels, all from their Apple Watch.
