FreeCast Delivers SelectTV to Android Set-Top Box Manufacturers Ahead of Kodi Lawsuits
The revenue opportunity of SelectTV makes a compelling case as a pre-load versus legally fraught Kodi software.
ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- FreeCast has approached Android set-top box manufacturers to propose pre-loads of SelectTV or white label variants of the company's set-top box UI. This initiative comes as another popular pre-load, the open-source Kodi (formerly XBMC) media player comes under fire for third-party plugins that enable content piracy. Device-makers that preload SelectTV onto their hardware will become affiliates, earning money for each user that signs up for the service, while those that opt for a co-branded or white label version of the service enjoy further revenue sharing opportunities.
FreeCast CEO William Mobley explained why the time is right for manufacturers to ditch Kodi for SelectTV: "Consumers are dumping their cable and satellite subscriptions, so they need new hardware that can give them a complete media experience on their TV, and with the FCC's latest proposal, the market for new set-top hardware is only going to grow. SelectTV has the potential to change a one-time sale into a recurring revenue opportunity, while satisfying users with legal access to all of the TV shows and movies they'd be able to see with a traditional cable subscription. Perhaps most important as lawsuits loom, it does this with no legal risk to manufacturers."
