Doha: Ooredoo today launched Ooredoo tv, a new product which combines apps, on-demand and live television in one easy-to-use box.
The new service will replace Ooredoo’s Mozaic tv and has no upfront charges, no equipment costs and no ongoing contracts.
Using fibre and Wi-Fi technology, the Ooredoo tv service delivers a wide range of channels and enables customers to pick the package that best suits their viewing preferences.
The fiber connection offers 4k TV viewing quality and makes Ooredoo the first operator in the region to offer a commercial 4K service.
Ooredoo tv is a multi-screen service, so customers can use their Ooredoo Broadband Wi-Fi to enjoy the best drama, comedy, documentaries and hit shows on every screen in the house, including smartphones and tablets.
All current Mozaic TV and Broadband users can visit any Ooredoo Shop and collect the new Ooredoo tv box for free from today as part of the “Collect & Go” service.
All the 260,000 homes in Qatar that have already been installed with Ooredoo Fibre will be able to self-install the new Ooredoo tv service.
The launch event was also attended by Charles Yang, President of Middle East Region, Huawei, whose technology supports the Ooredoo Fibre network.
Ooredoo also opened a new shop on The Pearl-Qatar, which will be one of the prime outlets for people to see Ooredoo tv in action.
Ooredoo tv will offer four packages called “Extras.” These will be Arabia Extra for Arabic entertainment; Asian Extra for sports, movies and news from Asia; International Extra, which includes sport, family, history, and comedy from around the world; and Super Extra, which will combine all three packages in one.
All bundles will come with 10 Mbps Broadband and access to landline with free local calls.
Viewers will also be able to access Ooredoo’s Movies on Demand library, and have free unlimited access to the Ooredoo tv Club, with unlimited content from ABC Studios and Disney. There will even be two month’s free subscription to any extra package.
“Ooredoo TV gives customers total access to their full range of channels via one box with one remote control, de-cluttering the viewing experience. Customers can enjoy a full range of features such as catch-up TV, enabling customers to time shift and view current and previously broadcasted TV content with start, pause, fast forward and rewind,” a company statement said.
Ooredoo TV is available now via Ooredoo Shops and Starlink, TechnoBlue and Jumbo outlets.
