Virgin Media has tapped cloud-based broadcast tech outfit Amagi for its integrated solution to launch and monetise a new line-up of themed FAST channels on Virgin TV.
A selection of 14 channels have been rolled-out to Virgin Media’s V6, TV 360, and Stream set-top boxes (STBs).
Harnessing the Appstage application framework within the 24i Mod Studio streaming platform – which is pre-integrated with Amagi’s playout solutions – the project introduced the FAST channels into Virgin Media’s Electronic Programming Guide (EPG) without making any changes to existing STB configurations.
