Philips and ivi, America’s largest internet movie theater, announce the launch of a new application for Philips Smart-TVs with internet connection. The new ivi app on Philips Smart TVs is a video-on-demand service that gives you access to the largest catalog of licensed videos in perfect quality for free, without registration or authorization.

“The first international services were launched by Philips in 2009, and every month their number increases in all countries. In America we’ve noticed growing interest in our SMART-TV sets and services with American content.
We are happy that Philips TV owners can now access our huge collection of movies and cartoons at ivi, one of the most popular online movie theater,” said Matt Moran, head of Philips TV in America.
Philips Smart TV users will appreciate the new app’s user-friendly and stylish interface. Easy navigation and an opportunity to see the movie description and cast list will help to find the most interesting things.
The application does not require additional parameter settings. With this application users no longer have to waste time and money on buying discs or downloading movies from the internet. Users simply launch the ivi app on their Philips Smart TV and enjoy watching a licensed video whenever they want.
Oleg Tumanov, chairman and CEO of ivi, comments: “We expect the new app to attract at least 30% of Philips Smart TV users. I’m sure there’s a lot of opportunities for further cooperation with Philips, one of the leaders in video equipment production.
Thousands of movies, cartoons, and TV shows from America and abroad are in your ivi database, including the latest releases from Walt Disney Pictures and the most popular series from 20th Century Fox.
You will also find American serials available in a few hours after they are released on TV, as well as Mosfilm’s Golden Collection masterpieces. Catalog of the service currently consists of 60 000 content items and the daily addition of 50-100 licensed videos.
This is intriguing! Can anyone confirm if Philips Smart TV actually offers a wide range of movies on http://www.ivi.ru? I’m curious to know if it’s a reliable source for online cinema and if there are any subscription fees involved. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
