MANILA, Philippines and TORONTO, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – Cignal TV, the leading pay-TV provider in the Philippines, has expanded its deep collaboration with Quickplay to drive unparalleled content variety across new platforms, including Android STB options for Filipino television viewers, the two companies announced today.

As part of its innovation roadmap, Cignal TV is leveraging Quickplay’s cloud-native, open architecture OTT platform to enhance its Cignal Play service with the launch of the Cignal Play TV Android set-top box.

Cignal TV’s move to the Quickplay platform in 2022 resulted in multiple service improvements: better streaming performance, more nimble content management and discovery, and a user experience that won immediate Google Play acclaim for viewers. One year later, Cignal TV used the same platform and backend to launch Pilipinas Live, a sports service that is targeted toward Pinoy viewers in the Philippines and around the world.

“Strategies that make a wide variety of content available on subscriber-owned devices are essential to MVPD’s continued ownership of the living room,” said Paul Pastor, Chief Business Officer and Co-Founder of Quickplay. ” Cignal TV is using the power of our cloud-native platform and its existing content relationships to launch game-changing Android STB services that will enhance their competitive position in the Philippines and address the needs of its Filipino community.”
