ON AIRAPPS & DEVICES

Your catalogue, your paywall and your brand on the TV and the phone — run from the same Studio as your website, and signed in with a phone camera instead of a remote.

  • TV, phone and web from one Studio
  • QR sign-in on the TV
  • Device limits per plan
  • No app-store resubmission
02/ 07WITHOUT IT

  1. 01

    Your viewers watch from the sofa, but your platform lives in a browser tab — and the quote for a Roku channel, an Apple TV app and two phone apps arrives with a team attached.

  2. 02

    Every rebrand, every renamed section and every new season means another build and another wait in app-store review.

  3. 03

    And four minutes before kick-off, the viewer holding a remote is still typing a password one letter at a time.

03/ 07HOW IT WORKS

The apps run from the same Studio your team already uses. There is no second catalogue to keep in step and no build to wait for.

  1. Step 01

    Run the Studio as usual

    Events, on-demand titles, series, live channels and radio publish once. The same catalogue reaches the website, the phones and the TVs — with the same paywall decision on every one.

  2. Step 02

    Your brand arrives by itself

    Each app opens in your palette, under your name and logo, with every interface phrase already in your language, only the modules you run and the add-ons you’ve installed.

  3. Step 03

    Viewers sign in with a phone

    The TV shows a code. The viewer scans it with the phone already in their hand, sees the TV named — “Roku Ultra — Living Room” — and taps Approve. Nobody types a password on a remote.

  4. Step 04

    Change it from your desk

    Switch a module off and it leaves the apps too. Stage new launch artwork for the TV channel and it’s live the same day. No rebuild, no resubmission.

04/ 07WHAT IT DOES

Everything below comes with the apps — and every setting behind it lives in your Studio, not in a developer’s backlog.

01

QR sign-in for TVs

A code valid for 120 seconds, approved from a phone that’s already signed in. The sign-in is delivered to the TV itself, never to the phone that scanned — so a photo of the screen gets nobody in.

02

Device limits per plan

Set how many screens each plan allows. Going over never blocks a sign-in: paid playback pauses until the viewer signs a device out, in one tap, from their own account.

03

One access decision on every screen

The browser, the phone and the TV all ask the same access engine, so entitlements never disagree. A season pass bought on the website opens the stream on the TV with no separate setup.

04

Your brand without an app update

Palette, name, logo and every phrase in your language reach the apps each time they open. Rename “Events” to “Fixtures” in the Studio and the TV says Fixtures too.

05

Modules leave every screen at once

Switch a module off and its app tab disappears with its website page and dashboard section. Switch it back on and it returns. Nothing goes back through app-store review.

06

TV channel launch artwork

Stage the channel background, the banner strip and the splash video from the dashboard. A playoff look or a holiday refresh goes live the same day.

07

Push that reaches the whole installed base

Phones and TVs that registered for notifications before anyone signed up still get them — so “we’re live now” reaches everyone who installed the app, account or not.

08

Ad inventory for the apps

A rotating banner inventory of its own for the mobile apps, run from Marketing → Mobile Ads. Each banner carries its own image and link, and switching one off takes it out of rotation.

09

Proof of the living room

Analytics recognise 7 connected-TV families — Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Samsung, LG and other smart TVs — instead of counting them as desktops. That’s the number a sponsor asks for.

Questions operators ask

No. The apps run from the same Studio as your website — catalogue, paywall, brand, wording and module switches — so publishing, rebranding and reshaping your service never waits on a build.
