Ooredoo tv records huge rise in demand for smart content

Since the launch of its next generation Ooredoo tv service, Ooredoo has recorded an unprecedented surge in On-Demand content, as customers look to enjoy entertainment whenever and wherever they are in Qatar.

Ooredootv has become the fastest-growing television service in Qatar, and more and more customers are taking advantage of the service’s accessible content and huge On-Demand library, as it fits in with the customers’ busy and connected lifestyles. YousufAbdulla Al Kubaisi, Chief Operating Officer, Ooredoo Qatar, said: “With Ooredootv, accessing On-Demand content is now simpler than ever before due to the clear and fast user interface that enables our viewers to find and watch the content they love. We’ve seen very strong demand for the service since its launch, and thanks to Ooredootv, we’re also seeing a significant change in viewing habits across Qatar.”

Ooredootv has been designed to provide viewers with unrivalled access to content from around the world. With the Ooredootv set top box, customers can watch movies, sports, news and more live and on demand, stream content from their tv, play games and download apps. Talking about the popularity of the new service, Kubaisi added: “Crucially the Ooredootv set top box gives customer full control over what they are watching, meaning it’s not just pause, rewind and record, but they can go back in time to watch shows already broadcast. On-Demand now goes beyond blockbuster movies and the latest TV series, it changes the way people watch channels.”

Ooredoo’s figures show that, in March, On-Demand content was streamed on Ooredootv 33 times more often than the previous month on its predecessor, Mozaic TV, and used 100 times more in terms of service usage. The company has also found that three times more subscribers use the Ooredootv app to select their content. The smart app functions as an advanced remote control, as well as a player to enable customers to view content on multiple screens. Ooredootv is available now via Ooredoo Shops and Starlink, TechnoBlue and Jumbo outlets. The service has no upfront charges, no equipment costs and no ongoing contracts.
