PITTSBURGH, April 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- WhereverTV
Broadcasting Corp. (OTC Pink: TVTV), a leader in delivering
over-the-top (OTT) subscription television services, today
announced the release of the WhereverTV app for iOS devices, now
available on the App Store. The App works on any Apple device
running iOS 4.3 or greater, including iPad, iPhone 3GS to 5, and
iPod Touch.
With the WhereverTV App, subscribers to GreekTV, ArabicTV and 2M
Maroc now have the freedom to watch live programming portably on
Apple devices, while providing yet another option in delivering
content to TV sets through AirPlay (http://www.apple.com/airplay/)
and AppleTV (http://www.apple.com/appletv/). The WhereverTV App
also features a channel guide that allows users to simultaneously
browse and change channels while watching television.
The WhereverTV App can be downloaded for free by visiting:

Impact of iOS Device Access
"With Apple forecasting sales of 102 million iPads and 194
million iPhones in 2013, it is a necessity to have our service
accessible to users of these wildly popular devices," explained
Mark Cavicchia, TVTV's CEO.
"Apple's App Store has over 500 million active accounts and had a
record-breaking 2012 with nearly 20 billion downloads during the
year. Our current subscribers will no doubt benefit from this
additional outlet to access their content, while WhereverTV's
subscription services will appeal to an expanded customer base that
is already accustomed to using Apple's ecosystem for accessing
video content and other entertainment."
Increasing the ease in delivering over-the-top content to
television sets has been the major focus of TVTV's business
strategy from its inception. "Streaming channels from
WhereverTV's App to TV sets via AirPlay allows subscribers to watch
live content on their big screen while browsing and navigating from
their handheld devices," continued Mr. Cavicchia. "Technology
has caught up to our patent pending Global IPG system to the point
where consumers are no longer bound to traditional cable and
satellite providers. Much like we are seeing cell phones
replace landlines throughout the world, we will soon see a shift in
the way people access, manage and view live television content as
technology continues to evolve. WhereverTV is well positioned
to be in front of that shift."
Future Enhancements
The Company is already working on future enhancements to its iOS
App, which include DVR scheduling and playback capabilities, as
well as adding free-to-air internet television channels from around
the world.
Device Requirements
* iOS 4.3 or later
* Internet Connection (Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, LTE)
